    don't own an hd elec diag. manual but if they are anything like the ones I am used to then they should give step by step instructions for diagnoses, and elimination of possabilitys by testing usually with a multimeter, the values and ranges of said problems weather static or dynamic, volts amps and ohm readings, along with "how to" build certain test jumpers.

    The electrical diagnosis manual is worth it's weight in gold! Gives point by point troubleshooting trees for most problems. It is also written to utilize the Scanalyzer, breakout boxes and digital tech which owners and indy shops cannot buy. They do help isolate problems and will definatly help troubleshoot problems. I buy the Shop manual, parts manual and elec. diag manual for every bike I've owned and for most of the common bikes that I do services at home. If you are prone to taking care of everything yourself you won't regret buying it.
