 Today's tool of the day is a multimeter. It is a fairly basic tester for electrical current. This tool can be used for detecting issues and troubleshooting bad connections. 

The lights on our trailer stopped working and I used a multimeter to track down where the electrical current was broken. Turned out to be this box connected to the car. Ordered a new one and voila issue fixed. 

No idea how much fiat it would have taken to fix through a mechanic. My multimeter and I fixed it for $40 + tax.

 Crescent wrench, Multimeter and an air compressor are the most important tools on our farm 
 Sounds about right.

 I'm thinking a shop would charge about $200ish for that fix.  
 Although in BC everything is more expensive.

 You should have included an Amazon affiliate link in your post because after I read this, I went to Amazon and purchased one.  πŸ˜†  
 Which one did you get?

 I got this one.  While it's probably not the best, I couldn't pass up the price.   😁

 Are you telling me I missed out on a commission? Damn it!

I think you will be happy with it.
