Basic book on electronics for cars. It's okay and on par with the one titled "Electrickory" (which is a touch disappointing considering the tittle).

tell you what if you wanna learn about electricity not just automotive but electricity in general this is your book. It helps to lay a great foundation. I already knew this stuff but it was a great refresher, as well as a excellent info source for automotive applications. I truely feel this was money well spent.

I read this book about 10 times and threw it at the wall WHAT an incredibly stupid book. NO IT isnt I was though and all you need to know is there ITS actually a great book to learn with BUT it doesnt point out the key points to grasp very well BUT trust me its there you just need to pay attention to what mr horner is saying. If you pay attention and arent expecting some kind of miracle surge of electrical knowledge into your brain then this book will teach you how to wire a car from tip to tail. After my impatient little brain paid attention to mr horner I found that I understood electrical systems far better than most people and I could wire any brand of car because the basics are all the same from vw to lexus. THIS book is worth its price

Unless you already know how to wire a car and have a thorough knowledge of electricity and electrical fundamentals this book will be absolutely worthless. It will show you how to solder in case you don't already know how to. Don't waste the electricity necessary to order it.

Great book for learing how to wire a car from scratch. Although written in 1986 and a lot of references are made to kit cars and VW bugs (a favorite foundation for kit cars), this book explains how most things electrical work in your car, as well as how to create your own electrical system. Highly reccomended to anyone into restoring an old car or building a car from "scratch". Also get Haynes "Automotive Electrical Manual" to learn how to troubleshoot and fix a wiring harness, also highly reccomended.

I am in process of rewiring a 70s model car and this book is extremely helpful. Good fundamental explanation of electronics and automotive application. Written at a level that is easily understood without any background in the material.

Skip the foundational material and go straight to the application if you like but I found the background key to understanding some of my rewiring problems.

Short book, well illustrated, easy to understand and very affordable.

Unless you are willing to spend considerable time reading and absorbing the Theory of relitivity this book is NOT for you. The fact that the author chose to use the Pinto as his subject should be warning enough as it, like this book, leaves MUCH to be desired. Wiring diagrams are small, cluttered, and incomplete. Following (or trying to follow) these diagrams will assure you of one of two things; A Fire or a car that won't start. The novice who is trying to wire a car from scratch will find that this book was a waste of time. The more experienced car buff who has an electrical problem MIGHT find a solution.

Covers the fundamentals for the first timer and for the veteran electical troubleshooter. Well planned and thought out. Really makes you stop and plan your work. Presents different approaches to problems and what may work best for you. A must have if you are building a kit car or restoring a car. Provides names o companies that you can purchase supplies to do it yourself. Dont try it without first reading this book!!!!!

This book is for those of you that need to rewire your car. It covers basic automotive electronics and takes you through step by step rewire from scratch. From design to finished product that will please you. The author bases his models on early Pinto's and V.W.'s so if you have fuel injection, you might need Frank Munday's book.

i am building a class 5-1600 baja bug and this is an exelent source of info on wireing from scrach or understanding your stock system for modification

how can i write a review if i can't see the book. you are telling me to review the book, but it is not available for review.
