My multi-meter arrived, so I decided to check the battery today. However, when I went to do it, I couldn't figure out how to get the negative terminal. There is a small flap at the top left of the battery for the positive terminal, and a minus sign with a arrow pointing downwards on the top right. There is also a diagram that seems to be of the negative terminal, but I could see it.
I wondered if I needed to take the plastic cover off the battery to get at the terminal, put it seems to be fixed in place at one point , and I didn't want to wrench the cover off.
I will have to dig out the manual.
I read another thread about testing under cranking, but then it started talking about pulling fuses, so that the engine wouldn't start.
If I just test with the engine off, is that test valuable?
