That would be good Tyler to see those particular pages you are talking about. I have the thick factory manual too but would like to see those pages shown here all the same, as it's a massive book and you already know the relevant sections.
I apparently have a bad earth somewhere according to my mechanic. Blinkers make the headlights dim slightly which is a sign he says.I recently obtained a decent enough multimeter. Can you or anybody give me the rundown on how to test for a good or bad earth using the ohlm function. I am a complete novice to auto electricals and don't even have the most basic concept of how they work. I just know there is negative and positive terminals and that voltage is like the speed of the water through a pipe and amps are the quantity of water (electricity)?

PS: here's a couple of recent pics. Ignore date on photos. It reset when I installed new battery..
