Apparently not. Approximately 50% of Broncos are born without nuts after all.

If i recall the larger one is m6 and the smaller m5

First, I love the color--HotChiliPepper Red?--and bold striping of your Bronco; mine's the same color but has the Raptor splashes.

Secondly, you really need a multimeter if your're doing anything with the electrical system.. Here...

Make sure you buy a good one. I bought one from Harbor Freight and it quick working after a few days. It was probably a bad switch. I returned it and will never buy another. I've never had a meter made for the trades or industry fail like that.

Buy Klein, Fluke, Amprobe, brands that compete on reliability and not price. You want one that won't fail when you're troubleshooting an electrical problem on the trail.

Remember, in this case reliability is more important than the most features for your dollar.

For most folks, I highly recommend the Klein CL390. Runs about $100 - and worth every penny. Can find it at Home Depot and online.

The big reason: It has a clamp-on Ammeter that reads DC current - which is usually pretty expensive to get.

If you want the actual Fluke - look for a 301D. Similar functionality, about $50 more.

Love the two-door and brushed Methods!

You only need a Harbor Freight multimeter. You're measuring 0-20 volts or whether it's hot or not. None of that requires any serious degree of precision.
