## Overview

The Power Probe ECT3000B is a professional-grade short/open circuit finder designed for automotive electrical diagnostics. Featuring adjustable sensitivity from 1 to 8 inches, an integrated LED flashlight, and a 10-minute auto shut-off, it enables precise, non-invasive wire tracing with visual and audio cues. This tool-only kit includes a transmitter and receiver powered by included AAA batteries, making it an essential device for efficient fault location without dismantling vehicle interiors.

## Description

• The Power Probe ECT3000, a 2-pc circuit tracer, transmits a signal into an isolated circuit (shorted or open) and traces the direction to the problem. • The receiver allows users to see the distance from the wire being traced and the direction to the short. • The auto-signal locking feature eases first-time use and eliminates the need to remove interior trims and carpets. • The integrated flashlight will illuminate the workspace and the automatic 10-minute shut off helps users save battery life.

Review: Seems to work well - I’ve now had it a couple of months but only used it once seem to work well but then lost the loo somewhere behind the dash and couldn’t find it again till it came out the other side of the car Still, I expect that’s me. I need more practice in using it
