ok, i broke down and bought a volt meter to tackle this wiring.  i  always 
avoided it because i consider myself an amateur and it seemed so  intimidating.
 
i printed out the tips Paul sent on finding the fault for the turn signal  
problem.  so now i need a crash course on using the volt meter.  i  read the 
instructions but i'm kind of a hands on learner.  i got one of  those $20 jobs 
at 
Schucks.  if its not too complicated to email tips on  using this i would 
greatly appreciate it.  i see all the warnings about eye  protection and things 
blowing up and  what not that i'm a little fearful of  it!  i have the pages 
Paul sent me on what should be reading as 12V on what  wires...i just need to 
know where to set the dial and put the red and black  probes.
 
i'm guessing that i set the device to the Bat Load setting for 12V and then  
probably ground the black wire on something metal and touch the red probe to  
whatever i'm testing...am i close?   steph
