After u sent ur last message I looked again and I think I somehow got the wrong one. I was looking at one that did. If not I will get one. Ebay had some used ect 2000 for 20 and 40 but would check them close. Was sure I clicked on the one that had both but now dont think it is. O well. Thanks

If you can get a used one for 20 or 40 I would get one. You will really like both the wire tracer and the power probe 3.

Got my new tools. Power probe is great. Using ect 2000 I get a signal under steering colum pointing to fuse box with pretty fast signal. If I go under glove box I get a signal pointing to passenger door till I get to switch. But if I put it down in where the radio would be it points back towards the driver side. So im guesing it close to fuse box but why does it keep sending signal towards passenger door all the way to switch. Thanks

When the signal stops you have a open or short to ground there or your too far from the signal. Sometimes its tough pinpointing the spot. Just raakes time and taking things apart sometimes.

I guess. It was the light in the trunk. So not sure what it was doingjust checked wiring diagram again and opened the trunk and moved the light and it fell down. Put in a fuse and worked. Now I have code po440 again.

Maybe the wires to trunk light were chafed to ground. So how many miles did it take for the 440 to come back.

So the used gaas cap is leaking or you has a leak somewhere else. Best way to check it is with smoke.

Decided to check to see if I had something draining on my battery beings it is dead after a few days. Had test light on positive side and at ont time pulled all fuses. It stayed on. Sometimes it is on then I will lose it. Check test light by touching neg. Cable and it comes on. When its on its dim. I have the radio and body fuse pulled. If I try to use the power probe how do u hook it up. Small negative cable and the probe or will that work that way. Thanks
