Electromagnetic Interference & Electrical Noise

Some electrical components or circuits are sensitive to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) or other types of electrical noise. Check for misrouted wiring that is too close to high voltage or high current devices. Check for wires that are too close to secondary ignition components, electrical motors or the generator. Check for non-factory or aftermarket add-on accessories such as lights, 2-way radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, or cell phones. Test for open diode across AC compressor. Some relays may contain a clamping diode. Check that generator is operating properly.
