In my fsm it mentions alot about checking ground activation. How do I do this using a multimeter? do I check ohms, voltage, amps. does one probe touch ground or do both probes touch the circuitry? do I need to be on both ends of the circuit?

I need a multimeter for dummys! My Sears multimeter manual does'nt tell me much and my electrical troubleshooting skills are weak!

Help electrical gurus!

Thanks
