And that seems repugnant to trained engineers of any discipline. There's no difference between an electrical and mechanical engineer . Both disciplines look to see how something works, then find out WHY it doesn't , and apply a solution.
I'm a trained & certified Comms/ Electronics/ Computer Engineer, who's reasonably happy working on my car, but if in doubt will contact a competent vehicle bloke once I've done my basic fault finding . A similar mechanical engineer will do likewise, once they've come up against a similar electrical problem.
A non trained person will just plug on changing bits.
I see this regularly on the motoring forums I visit ,where some one has a problem with headlamps not working. No mention of checking volts -let's change a lamp /fuse.
