O.K., so what do I look for doing an ohm meter check? What should the ohm meter be reading if the bulb is not blown? Bob Abbott AZURA C&C 32 - 84 Halifax, NS On 2013/05/15 11:44 AM, Bill Coleman wrote:

After steeping the mast, I hooked up the various lights (running, bow, foredeck). Mast head light did not come on....my guess is a blown bulb or the bulb connection could be bad. I am no electrician but I do have a digital multimeter. Is there a 'test' with the multimeter that can suggest that it is a blown bulb or a bad bulb connection? A simple 'yes' answer will not suffice.....step by step explanation would be helpful. I ask this because getting the the top of my mast is a 3 person task....one to up, one to grind and one to tail. If I know it is the bulb, I can plan for a fix accordingly.
