Video Transcript for Feature Breakdown: Computer Safe Logistic Probe

Today we're going to be taking a look at the performance tool computer safe logistic probe. It's going to feature a computer safe design drawing less then 7 mil amps. It will test high and low voltages on all vehicle circuits including computerized engine and body controls. It's going to feature a bright red and green LED. It's going to interpret voltage signals such as ground, power, and frequency. This system is designed to work on 6, 12, and 24 volt systems.

The test probe, that's this portion right here, that's going to measure pretty close to 3 and 3/16 of an inch, right around that area, 3 and 1/8. It's also going to come with your heavy gauge color coded battery clips. A really nice design, easy grip design on those. When the coiled cable or cord is fully stretched out it's going to be able to reach up to 10 feet. When you're ready to use or connect the probe what you'll need to do is you'll need to connect the probe clips to the vehicle's battery. The red clip, again, it's color coded so that's going to go to the positive terminal.

The black clip goes to the negative terminal. You'll need to turn the power on to the component or circuit being tested. Keep in mind the ignition may need to be in on or accessory position. In some cases the engine may need to be running. All you have to do is touch the components circuit wire with the probe's tip.

The LED will glow red if positive source is probed, or green if a negative source is probed. That tip right here, it's going to measure about 3 and 3/16 of an inch long and it's insulated. If the LED does not glow at all the probe may not be making contact with the wire. The wire or the component maybe faulty. Power may not be reaching the circuit or the circuit may not be properly grounded. That's going to do it for today's look at the performance tool computer safe logistic probe.

  • Troubleshooting Danger Notification and No LED Light on Curt Echo Brake Controller
    Sine the LED does not light up on your Curt Echo # C51180, that means there's no power getting through to it. Given the fact that the Echo was receiving power and working properly at one point, chances are you're dealing with a poor ground issue. I would start by checking the power and ground circuits on your Ram's trailer wiring. These will be on the 1 o'clock and 7 o'clock positions, as shown in the attached diagram. You can use a 12V probe-style circuit tester, like # PTW2991 to check...

  • Troubleshooting OEM Brake Controller 2016 Chevy Silverado Not Working with Brake Pedal
    Your generation of truck has this issue sometimes and the problem ends up being that the third brake light fuse is blown. This is same circuit as the brake controller stoplight circuit of your truck so what I would recommend is check to see if your third brake lights up when you press the brakes and if not replace the fuse for the third brake light.

  • Trailer Brakes Will Not Activate When Pushing The Brake Pedal
    If your trailer brakes activate when using the manual override but not when pushing on the brake pedal you may have a bad connection or a faulty brake switch. I have also linked below our article on Brake Controller Troubleshooting. Also if you have a proportional brake controller and you are not moving the trailer brakes will not activate as the controller does not sense the inertia needed to activate the brakes. First I would push on the brake pedal and see if the vehicles brake lights...

  • Troubleshooting Draw-Tite Activator II Brake Controller
    The troubleshooting guide for the (discontinued) Draw-Tite Activator II 5500 is actually the same as the Draw-Tite Activator IV # 5504. The instructions (with the troubleshooting guide) for the Activator IV are linked for you to reference but I have also clipped the guide for the Activator II that you can check out. I'm pretty sure the So code you are talking about is either the Sync display meaning that the Sync Control has been moved or the 2.0 display meaning that you are having connection...

  • Trailer Brakes Will Not Lock Up with Primus IQ Brake Controller # TK90160 in 2007 Silverado 1500
    The fact that your trailer brakes will not lock up at 20-25 mph speed does not necessarily indicate a problem with the brake controller. The best way to isolate the problem is to apply a circuit tester to the wires leading into one of the trailer electric brake assemblies to read the voltage reaching the brake. You can use a voltage tester like # PT89ZR to read the voltage being delivered to the brake assembly. You should read +12 volts or very close to it at each brake when the controller...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Loading Lights Connected to 2015 Dodge Ram
    From your description it appears you do not have continuity from the batteries 12v supply to the pin for lighting. This may be due to a fuse or absence of that pin connected on your Ram where it is/was on the Chevy. Please see the attached wiring diagrams for assistance in trouble shooting and start with ensuring the pin for lighting on trailer is hot on the vehicle side. When referencing the 7-Way RV Plug diagram that I have attached, make sure you are looking at the plug the way the...

  • Lights Not Working After Installing Roadmaster Diode Wiring Kit
    First, lets look at what is going on with the motor home. If it has a trailer connector on it you will want to test it using a circuit tester such as # PTW2991. If some of the circuits are not working then you know that the issue is on the motor home side. If they all check out fine then the issue is likely in either the kit used or the motorhome Using this will help you check for shorts in your current wiring.

  • Jensen JWM60A RV Radio Fuse Location And Will Not Turn On
    The location of your fuse on your Jensen RV Stereo # JWM60A is on the back of the unit below the 20 pin connector. To access this fuse, you will have to remove the side panels, so you can access the screws. Once the screws are removed, you can access this fuse. You also might try checking your 12v power with # PTW2991 to ensure you're getting the proper operating voltage. If your 12v power is good, and the fuse is fine, then you most likely have a bad ground, check your solid black wire...

  • Trailer Taillight Running Lights Not Working
    If there are running lights on the trailer and they are working be sure to check your taillight bulbs first. To test the wiring, first you are going to need a Circuit Tester # PTW2991. I have linked our help article on testing the wiring for 4 and 5-way wiring on a trailer. The first place to start would be to test the connection at the truck connector. This will vary from different connectors. On a 4-way connector it is the brown wire that is the female adapter closest to the single...

  • Trailer Brakes Intermittently Turn On While Driving without Using Brake Pedal or Manual Override
    It is possible that there is a short somewhere that is intermittently kicking in due to vehicle/trailer position changes as you drive. The likely culprits are the trailer connectors on the vehicle and trailer. You will need to make sure that the connectors are clean and free of corrosion inside and out. To test the controller use a circuit tester such as # PTW2991. Sever the blue wire a few inches from the back of the controller and test the end coming out of the controller while fully...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Disconnected Code for Integrated Brake Controller on a 2017 Ford F-350
    What you need to do is test the 7-Way connector both on your 2017 Ford F-350 and your trailer. Since your F-350 is new I doubt that it is on the vehicle side but you can use a circuit tester like part # PTW2991 and the attached picture of a vehicle 7-Way to make sure that all of the functions are operating properly. To test the 7-Way on your trailer simply take a 12V battery and ground the negative terminal while using the positive terminal to apply power to each pin on the 7-Way. If one...

  • Troubleshooting Jensen RV Stereo JWM60A That Will Not Turn On
    If your Jensen RV Stereo # JWM60A will not turn on, it's going to be either because it's not getting power, it's not grounded properly, or the fuse is blown. Since you already tried resetting the unit, we'll start by checking the 10 amp fuse on the back of the unit and replace if necessary. Failing to disconnect the battery prior to installing the unit, as recommended by the user manual, could have caused a short, resulting in a blown fuse. Next, with the vehicle battery re-connected,...

  • Troubleshooting 7-Way Connector Not Working on a 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500
    If your trailer is working properly with other vehicles then the problem is definitely on your 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500. The fuse that you referenced I believe is for the 12V power but I could be mistaken. I tried looking up the online owner's manual but it didn't really identify the various fuses with numbers. With that being said, the best place to start is right at the 7-Way connector on your Chevy. Using a circuit tester like part # PTW2991 or a multimeter like part # PTW1714 check...

  • Fuse Location for 7-Way 12V Power Pin on a 2010 Ford F-250
    Check fuse 44 in the fuse block under the hood of your 2010 Ford F-250 as well as the relay in position 56. According to the online version of your owner's manual these are also related to the 12V power pin on your F-250. If those look good then the next thing you can do is use a circuit tester with a probe like part # PTW2991 and check the 12V wire from your 7-Way to your battery. Replace any pieces that are damaged or pinched with 10 Gauge Wire # 10-1-1.

  • Blinkers on Travel Trailer Not Bright When Running Lights Are On
    I would first ensure that the connections are correct in your wiring. If your running lights and turn signals/ brake are reversed this could cause the issue that you are having. The black wire on the Taillight # STL68RB should connect to your running lights on the trailer, this is usually the brown wire. The red wire from the taillights connects to the turn/brake wire which are generally yellow and green on the trailer. If that is right next I would check the ground connections as they...

  • What are the Wire Functions for Transit LED Stop/Turn/Side Marker/Tail Light
    On Transit LED Stop/Turn/Side Marker/Tail Light, # STL90RB, the white wire is ground, the red wire is for brake lights and turn signals, and the black wire is for running lights. It sounds like your trailer may have had separate turn signals from the brake lights. This would explain the 4 wires instead of 3. You will need to verify the functions of the trailer wiring using a circuit tester such as # PTW2991. Test each wire while the trailer is connected to the tow vehicle and have someone...

  • Trailer Lights Not Working With 2012 Ford F-250
    I would start by using a Circuit Tester # PTW2991 to test your connection at the truck (4-way or 7-way). This will help you to determine where to begin looking. If you are not getting any lights at the connector, I would first follow the connection and look for damaged wiring or a connection that came undone. If still nothing check your fuses and relays on your 2012 Ford F-250. There are quite a lot of them that are tied into the towing circuits. In the engine compartment fuses 22, 26,...

  • Troubleshooting HydraStar Electric Over Hydraulic Trailer Brakes
    The first step is to ensure that your brake controller is compatible with the HydraStar Vented Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes # HS381-8067. I recommend contacting HydraStar directly for compatibility details. If your controller is compatible I would inspect the wiring on the HydraStar unit. There are 4 wires coming out of the unit. White is the 12V ground wire, Black is 12V Positive, Blue goes to 7-way and receives power from the brake controller when pedal is...

  • Brake Controller Error Message with 2012 Dodge 2500 4x4 Towing 2002 4-Star Horse Trailer
    The problem you describe of your brake controller displaying an error message when your tow vehicle lights are turned on suggests several possible causes. One potential cause is damage/corrosion in the trailer connector(s) that could be causing two separate circuits to be bridged. It can happen that corrosion in a connector can actually create an electrical connection between two adjacent circuits, in this case the brake circuit and the running light circuit. Another possibility is that...

  • Troubleshooting Taillights for Trailer Wiring on 2012 Volkswagen Touareg
    I have attached the installation instructions for # 118668 below. I do recommend using a Circuit Tester # PTW2991 for testing your connections. This will help ensure your ground connectors are working properly as well. I do not see a black wire with green tracer coming out of the black box. The black wire is the 12V constant power. Your output wires are green for right turn/brake, yellow for left turn/brake, brown for running lights and white is ground. I hope this will help you identify...

  • Is there a Standard Wire Color and Function Code for a 7-Way Trailer Connector on a 2005 GMC Sierra
    Yes, there is no standard wiring color code so the wire functions could be anything. The only way to know for sure is to test the wires using a circuit tester such as # PTW2991. The ground will not have any voltage on it, or at least it should not unless there is a short to ground. The other wires will show power when the function associated with each one is activated (running lights, left/right turn and brake lights, reverse lights, 12 volt power which could be on all the time, and output...
