thanks for your replies. I do have a digital multimeter, so I can record voltage. I do have access to an oscillascope in the lab, but it's attatched to the big "electronic workbench" in the lab :p now, I need to find out the electrical schematics. I wonder if my Haynes auto manual can help me on this one.
