There are two wires, one red and one black. Can I some how use a 12 Volt light bulb and turn the wheel by hand to see if the sensor gives a signal??????????????

Hi Marc,

You will not be able to use a bulb to test for a signal as the pulse generated is VERY small, You could put a decent digital meter across the sensor and measure its resistance but you need to know what the resistance of a good one is...I suppose it will tell you if its gone open or short ciruit. ETB have a web site where you can download a wiring diragram and if you phone them they are very helpful.

Hope that helps!

Regards,

Pete
