Or a test-lamp, all you are looking for is the output of the stabiliser
(light-green/green) is switching on and off. But then if the digital meter
*does* switch between 0v and 12v, then the stabiliser probably *is* OK.
If it reads a steady 12v check the physical mount to the firewall, it needs
a good ground to work. If that's OK then the stabiliser is probably dead.
It normally takes 2 or 3 secs to start switching when first turning on the
ignition, then switches about once per second after that.
