Course Description

Do you know what causes electrical problems in cars? How would you like to understand and diagnose car wiring issues yourself? In this electronics course, Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) master technician and instructor Steven Liguori teaches beginners the basics of automotive electrical wiring diagrams and schematics. The course aims to empower students to troubleshoot their vehicle's electrical problems or narrow down possible faults. This course explains the foundational material necessary to understand basic electrical circuits and diagrams. It illustrates ideas regarding what circuits need or what could go wrong, which makes you wonder why you struggled with electrical components in the past. It explores in depth a detective-like process of elimination to auto-electrical diagnosis. The course describes everything clearly so you can take what you learn and apply it to any wiring diagram. You will gain confidence and proficiency by practicing the processes taught and using them. Liguori has educated thousands of students over the years and has found a way to cut to the chase and provide large amounts of information and understanding in a small amount of time. Clear explanations and simple animations will help you grasp and solidify your knowledge of the concepts. Spend a few hours learning, reviewing and practicing the principles in this course and you will be well on your way to the basic auto-electrical understanding you desire. Enroll now to begin.
