[QUOTE="Alan, post: 949546, member: 378"] I just bought and received a speedrite fault finder; [url=http://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.html?pgguid=30e07f7e-7b6a-11d5-a192-00b0d0204ae5]http://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.html ... b0d0204ae5[/url] But just can't figure it out, so a little help please.
