CHAPTER 2
AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS
AND WIRING
INTRODUCTION
Learning Objective:
Identify charging, starting,
ignition, and accessory-circuit components, their
functions, and maintenance procedures. Identify the
basic types of automotive wiring, types of terminals,
and wiring diagrams.
The electrical systems on equipment used by the
Navy are designed to perform a variety of functions. The
automotive electrical system contains five electrical
circuits. These circuits are as follows (fig. 2-1):
Charging circuit
Starting circuit
Ignition circuit
Lighting circuit
Accessory circuit
Electrical power and control signals must be
delivered to electrical devices reliably and safely so
electrical system functions are not impaired or
converted to hazards. This goal is accomplished
through careful circuit design, prudent component
selection, and practical equipment location. By
carefully studying this chapter and the preceding
