This might have been covered already. But if anybody is having trouble finding something to jump the test connector with just grab a piece of coat hanger or bailing wire. Cut to length, 5 inches or so, and use a hammer to flatten the end enough to fit. With the thicker wire it is easier to keep track (mine is hanging in my engine compartment) of than a paper clip and it works just as well.

Cheers

 

I just loop a piece of whatever wire I have laying around

 

I have a paper clip and/or piece of wire in my ash tray at all times.

 

I have a problem with losing things and now it is hanging 6 inches away problem solved...until I lose that too.http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...s/headbang.gif

 

an appropriately sized one of these is what i carry

 

I keep my paperclip wrapped around the wires on the test connector.

 

I took an idea from 4crawler. I made up a switch panel in my engine bay and used flat connectors to wire it up. Also have another switch for work lights mounted under the hood.

 

That's a cool idea! You should put that switch under your dashboard, tho, read your codes without having to pop your hood...
