Here's the video about the mechanics version of a logic probe.

It can indicate polarity of 12V circuits, and forcibly change their state with internal short circuit protection and warning.

But do NOT use on lower voltage sensor circuits not operating at 12V.

Let me know if you think the components I mentioned could be omitted.

Inside a mechanic's test probe - with schematic

A very simple, but extremely useful 6-24V test probe that can detect polarity and force energise circuitry in either polarity with the press of a button. It's basically a logic probe for cars and trucks. The circuitry is refreshingly simple, with just one oddity. This test probe is widely available on eBay. Target price is around 20. If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:- http://www.bigclive.com/coffee.htm This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's algorithm quirks, allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty. #ElectronicsCreators
