Method #1:

Bring the ends together. Use ohm-meter to measure resistance between the ends.

Compare with manufacturer's specification for the cable's resistance per 100-ft

or 100-m.

Method #2: Only possible if the cable has more than 1 conductor.

At one end of the cable, connect two conductors together. At the other end, use an

ohm-meter to measure the resistance between the same two conductors. If the meter

shows open-circuit, then at least one of those conductors is broken in the cable.

How can I check the continuity in a long wire?

To check continuity in a long wire, use a multimeter set to the continuity or resistance mode. Connect one probe to one end of the wire and the other probe to the opposite end. If the multimeter shows a low resistance reading or beeps, it indicates that there is continuity in the wire. If there is no reading or beep, there may be a break in the wire.

You have replaced the battery and changed the alternator on your1999 Saturn SC1 but it still starts intermittently what should you do?

Check for voltage between battery and starter. You need approx. 13and a half volts to start a car. Battery cable should be carrying 12 at least. Check Negative cable for continuity. If this all checks out and engine jerks when starting make sure timing belt hasn't stretched or that fuel pump pressure is adequate. Long distance diagnosis is difficult without hearing the problem


How do you measure continuity on long wires?

Easy: make sure both ends of the cable are completely disconnected. Go to one end of the cable, twist 2 cores together for instance brown and blue. Now go to the other end of you cable and test the continuity between the brown and the blue cables. This will verify both of these cables are continuous.Now untwist the cables, and twist another pair together, say brown and green/yellow. Test again between these cable and you're done.If you are fault finding, you can use this to figure out which cable is broken.Say you get no continuity between brown and blue.Set the test up again, test brown to green/yellow and you get nothing again.Set the test up again, test blue to green/yellow... assuming you get a continuous signal here you can assume you have a problem with your brown wire.
