What it is

Find the fault. Keep the trim on.

The Power Probe ECT3000B is an electronic circuit tracer that locates short circuits, open circuits and breaks in wiring without removing plastic panels, molding, trim or carpet. An intelligent transmitter injects a signal into the circuit and a digital receiver leads you straight to the fault with visual navigation and audible tones — on 12–24V DC systems. Tool-only configuration.

Features & functions
  • Locates short-to-ground faults, open circuits, switches and breaks in wiring without dismantling the interior
  • Intelligent transmitter + digital receiver guide you to the fault with LED direction indicators and audible tones
  • 8 sensitivity levels (~1–8 in / 3–20 cm) pinpoint the fault even in dense wire bundles
  • Trace parasitic battery drains and severe current draws back to their source
  • Circuit Wiggle & Flex Test and Tone On/Off help catch intermittent conditions
  • Wire Harness Probe detects the open-circuit signal between bundled wires
  • Works alongside Power Probe III, IV or Hook for direct-contact verification — the 4 kHz tone is audible through those testers
  • Standard 4 mm banana jacks accept other test leads and adapters
Computer-safe: the signal lead is limited to 100 mA to protect sensitive vehicle modules — still, unplug electronic modules before short-circuit verification.
