Although I haven't finished it, I like what I've read so far. Easy to absorb and very practical.


4 out of 5 stars not how to diy rewire your car   June 16, 2009

This book delivered what the title said. It is not a how to wire a car book, if you need that then look at jim horners automotive electrical handbook. I don't give this book 5 stars because its emphasis is on ford, gm and chrysler. I havent owned one of those for about 15 years and never will again so a lot of the book was useless to me. If you own a ford or gm then this is your book. This book is still good enough to get 4 stars even so.


4 out of 5 stars very interesting   January 30, 2009

This book is a good one for the backyard mechanic who wants to learn a little bit about electricity and electronics in his/her car. It explains how to read a wiring diagram. It has several sections on cars' different electrical systems (charging system, starting system, sensors, etc) with explanations on how they work and how to troubleshoot them, which could really help you save some money down the road. Now you can do some troubleshooting on your car instead of `shotgunning' parts at it.
This book is easy to read, clearly explained, and nicely formatted, with a lot of figures/diagrams/pictures in color.
Although I was a little skeptical when I first bought it, I now find it more and more useful as I keep learning about cars.
