Automotive Wiring and Electrical Systems (Workbench Series) Review: This book has saved me money! - This book has quickly become one of my favorite books! I am currently rebuilding a 1986 Chevrolet blazer and, as well as other aspects, the electrics do require a great deal of attention. I purchased this book from desertcart as a complete beginner with absolutely no confidence in electrics, but I was motivated by the potential financial savings and the ability to learn more about my car. This book did not disappoint! Firstly the book is very easy to read and follow (and I have no electrical back ground at all). I began with small jobs such as changing individual wires, ensuring connections where good, really just dipping my toe and getting my confidence. I have now moved on to slightly bigger jobs such as installing the wiring for the fog lamp system and installing a new wiring harness for my horn and I am make improvements on a weekly basis and learn something new! I am progressing up to bigger jobs as my confidence grows and I hope to soon start being able to fault find as well! If you are in the same situation, either you are looking to do electrical work on your car, either a complete overhaul (like me) or just to be able to fix odd jobs when they come up, then I recommend this book. It has been an incredible help and has given me a good understanding of the basics, giving me the confidence to begin working on the electrics myself and it continues to be an indispensable source of reference. Review: Great book! - This book has something for everyone. Gives theory, formulas, and sound advice as to wiring a car...any car. A bit dated...but just a bit. With all the new stuff coming out, and with a little research on that new stuff, you can easily integrate them into this. It teaches you how to become adept at automotive wiring skills ...and teaches you the mindset to be independently capable. If you can read, comprehend what you're reading, and have good hands this book will be a great help to you. Get volume 2 also. Don't expect to see step by step instructions for your application though...This is designed to teach you how to make your own "connections" lol For those that do not understand this....hire an automotive electrician. For those that do...and want to learn...buy the books. Definitely not a waste of money. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 1932494871 | | Best Sellers Rank | #60,210 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #5 in Automotive Electrical Systems #11 in Vehicle Owner's Manuals & Maintenance Guides | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (934) | | Dimensions | 8.5 x 0.38 x 11 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 9781932494877 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1932494877 | | Item Weight | 1.1 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | Workbench | | Print length | 144 pages | | Publication date | April 2, 2009 | | Publisher | CarTech | ## Images ![Automotive Wiring and Electrical Systems (Workbench Series) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81v2mEeXIML.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book has saved me money! *by S***K on June 18, 2011* This book has quickly become one of my favorite books!

It's impossible for any book to cover all electrical problems, but this one gives you a few common scenarios, the details of how to run wire like a pro, and the troubleshooting process so you can go after your project without the anxiety. It is a little heavy for a novice in the beginning when the author hits you with some of the math regarding resistance, voltage drop, and the laws of electricity. However, if you can muscle through, it gives you the mental tools necessary to consider how wiring harnesses are put together, how to safely add accessories without overloading your existing system, or even how to build your own harness from scratch. Worth a read, and nice to have on your workbench for reference. ## Frequently Bought Together - Automotive Wiring and Electrical Systems (Workbench Series) - Automotive Wiring & Electrical Sys Vol.2: Projects (Workbench) - How to Diagnose and Repair Automotive Electrical Systems (Motorbooks Workshop) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/211803-automotive-wiring-and-electrical-systems-workbench-series](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/211803-automotive-wiring-and-electrical-systems-workbench-series) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
