Description
Introduce learners to electrical concepts using the Automotive Window Motor Box and accompanying digital resources. This hands on trades based approach is the ideal way to expose learners to the trades of automotive service technician and electrician. As an automotive service technician it is important to know and understand these electrical concepts. Vehicles are becoming increasingly electrical. Understanding these electrical concepts enable a technician to properly diagnose and repair electrical issues from a simple circuits to a more complex module controlled circuit. A quick video is linked with QR code to show the various electrical measurements and features of the kit.
