week 6 schematics, wiring.

                                       This week we started on electrical circuits. In electrical lighting circuits we learned how to check resistance within components, how to wire circuits to have working front, rear and marker likes with turn signals that were either integrated or non-integrated blinking.

In this photo Mick is introducing us to checking resistance (OLMS) in this electrical fan.

This photo we experiment checking continuity in wiring to wire the turn signal switch and then we have to use our drawn schematics to wire the est of the circuit.

This week was defintely the hardest week for me. We had to learn how to read schematics and draw them but, I had a lot of difficulty trying to wire up the lighting model we were working on.
Would your lights run brighter if you upgraded your alternator to a higher amperes (output) alternator or would that be dangerous to the circuits and wires?

    3/3 Good job this week. I appreciate your attempt at including reflection into your blog. For next time, I would like you to delve a bit deeper into that reflection. Another sentence or two about the difficulty you faced when wiring up the lighting model or about what you learned from this challenge would benefit your blog.

    Your lights will only be as bright as the amount of current they flow. Higher voltage would make them brighter but burn out quick.
    Good job Mike.
