How to do it? The good ol' fashioned way, which I described in an
article some time ago, is to use a continuity tester. That is, a
hunka wire long enough to run from here to there, a couple of
flashlight batteries, and a flashlight bulb. You know you've found
the correct lead when the bulb lights up. I even described a do-it-
yourself tester based on an old-style Navy flashlight.
I built a continuity tester years ago when I was doing a lot of electrical
work on the bonanza. Rather than a flashlight bulb, I used a 99 cent buzzer
from radio shack. I found that with my head stuck up in the innards of the
panel, I couldn't always see a light bulb. I could, however, always hear
the buzzer.
