How can I tell if my headlight is blown?

You can diagnose a blown headlight using these steps, ranging from simple visual checks to electrical diagnostics. Here's how to confirm:

Basic Visual Inspection (Daytime)

Check for Darkness:

🔦 Turn on headlights and walk in front of your car. A blown bulb won't glow at all. Cracked/Hazed Housing:

💨 Foggy lenses or cracks scatter light, mimicking a blown bulb. Clean or restore lenses. Blackened Bulb:

⚫ Remove the bulb (cool first!). If the glass is darkened or the filament is broken, it's dead.

Electrical Tests (If No Light)

Test 1: Swap the Bulb Move the suspected blown bulb to the working side's socket.

Result:

✅ Glows = Original socket/fuse is faulty. ❌ No glow = Bulb is blown.

Test 2: Check Socket Voltage Tool Steps

Multimeter 1. Set to DC 20V. 2. Insert red probe into socket terminal, black to chassis ground. 3. Turn lights on. 💡 Reading: 12-14.5V = Socket good (bulb blown). 0V = Wiring/fuse issue.

Test 3: Fuse Check Locate headlight fuse (consult manual).

Look for broken filament or test continuity with a multimeter.

Common Failure Patterns

Symptom Likely Cause One headlight completely dead ✅ Blown bulb 🚫 Faulty socket/ground Both headlights out ❌ Blown fuse 🔌 Relay failure ⚡ Wiring short Headlight dim/flickering 🔋 Weak battery/alternator 💧 Moisture in socket

Bulb-Specific Signs

Halogen: Broken filament inside, blackened glass.

HID: No blue/purple ignition glow, pinkish tint = Failure.

LED: Darkened diodes, no light despite power.

Critical Safety Notes ⚠️ Wear gloves: Skin oils on halogen bulbs cause hotspots that lead to early failure.

⚡ Disconnect battery: Before handling wiring to prevent shorts.

🔧 Never force bulbs: Twisted connectors cause socket damage.

Troubleshooting Flowchart

graph TD A[Headlight Not Working] --> B{Any light?} -->No C[Test fuse/relay]

-->Dim/Flickering D[Check voltage at socket]

-->Fuse good E[Test bulb in working socket]

-->Still dead F[Replace bulb]

-->Works G[Inspect socket wiring]

-->Low voltage H[Test alternator/battery]

-->Fluctuating I[Check ground connection]

If all tests point to a good bulb and power supply, suspect:

Body control module (BCM) glitch (requires OBD2 scan)

Headlight relay (swap with identical relay like horn)

Damaged harness (trace wires for corrosion/pinches)

Replace blown bulbs in pairs to maintain balanced light output. If issues persist after replacement, focus on moisture intrusion or vibration damage as explored in our prior discussion. 🛠️

A Digital Multimeter (DMM) is an essential tool used to measure various electrical quantities like voltage, current, and resistance. It's called a "multimeter" because it can perform multiple functions, typically combining the capabilities of an ammeter, voltmeter, and ohmmeter into one device. Here's a brief overview of its key features and uses:

Key Features:

Voltage Measurement (V):

Measures both AC (alternating current) and DC (direct current) voltages.

Current Measurement (A):

Measures the flow of electrical current in amperes.

Resistance Measurement (Ω):

Measures the resistance in a circuit or component.

Additional Functions:

Some DMMs come with additional features like continuity testing, diode testing, frequency measurement, capacitance measurement, and temperature sensing.

Components of a Digital Multimeter:

Display: Shows the measurements in a numerical format (usually with a digital screen).

Dial/Buttons: Allows you to select the function (voltage, current, resistance) and the range (e.g., 2V, 200V).

Probes: The test leads with probes that are connected to the circuit or component being tested.

Switch: Typically used for selecting different modes like voltage, current, resistance, or other advanced functions.

How to Use:

Voltage Measurement: Set the dial to the appropriate voltage mode (AC or DC) and connect the probes across the component or circuit you want to measure.

Current Measurement: To measure current, you must break the circuit and connect the multimeter in series with the component you want to measure.

Resistance Measurement: Set the multimeter to the resistance mode and connect the probes across the component to measure its resistance.

Safety Tips:

Always check the multimeter's settings before measuring voltage or current.

Make sure you do not measure current by accident when measuring voltage or resistance.

Use appropriate ranges for measurements to avoid damaging the multimeter.

Digital multimeters are incredibly versatile tools for electricians, engineers, and hobbyists, making them invaluable for testing and diagnosing electrical circuits.https://sapphire-tech.com/product-category/digital-multimeter/

Emergency Maintenance Methods for AC Generator and Regulators

Alternators and regulators have been widely used in automobiles due to their simple structure, reliable operation, and convenient maintenance. When the following situations occur to the AC generator and regulator, in general, the following methods can be used for emergency maintenance of the AC generator and regulator.

(1) When the electronic regulator or contact regulator does not match the grounding method of the AC generator and is urgently needed, the grounding method of the AC generator field winding can be changed to make the grounding method of the AC generator and regulator consistent.

(2) When checking whether the AC generator generates electricity, if there is no test light or multimeter at the moment, a fuse or other fine wire from the car can be used to ground and scrape the AC generator B+terminal. If there is a spark, it can be basically confirmed that the AC generator generates electricity; If there is no response, it indicates that the AC generator is not generating electricity.

(3) When a diode in the AC generator experiences a breakdown and short circuit, if found in a timely manner, the damaged diode lead can be cut off for emergency purposes (at this time, the AC generator can still generate electricity). Once conditions permit, a new component should be replaced immediately.

(4) When there is a malfunction in the electronic regulator that cannot be repaired, replaced, and urgently needs to be used, a corresponding contact type regulator can be used instead, and vice versa. If the contact type regulator has a fault, which cannot be repaired or replaced for a while and is in urgent need of use, under good road conditions, the regulating resistance on the contact type regulator or the filament resistance of the car bulb can also be used to limit the output voltage of the alternator, but the engine speed should be strictly controlled at this time. Once conditions permit, it should be repaired or replaced in a timely manner.

(5) When the regulator of an integral AC generator has a malfunction that cannot be repaired or replaced for a while and is in urgent need of use, the wire connecting the AC generator to the regulator can be disassembled first, and then the magnetic field circuit of the AC generator can be led out with a wire and connected to the corresponding regulator. This can also enable the AC generator to generate electricity. Once conditions permit, it should be repaired or replaced in a timely manner.

Interior Dome Lights

Ever since I first had the car in my possession from December 2016 my interior dome lights have never functioned correctly. They worked in the permanently on setting but not in the mode activated by an open door. It didn’t help either that my front light was a different make with an alternative connecting format than the rear.

I had “meddled” in the past and just ended up blowing a fuse, so for some time now I’ve just left them in the central Off position and never had the convenience of them illuminating when getting in and out of the car.

What with all this working from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic I’ve been able to work during lunch breaks and immediately after work has finished on all those jobs I’ve added to my to-do list but never managed to get around to. This was the next in line.

After some research most indications pointed to the diodes located behind the centre console in the driver’s footwell.  I disconnected each in turn and tested them on my multimeter. They all tested okay so this was not the cause. After more research and scratching of my head I reached out to Mike Ward. I sent photos of my lights and their wiring and in lighting speed he was able to determine that my front light was non-standard whilst the rear was the Renault part (Renault part SKU 7701366036) used in DeLoreans.  

Below is my rear dome light and how it was wired up.

The next photo shows the front dome light and it’s wiring.

Further Mike managed to find a photo of the standard (Renault) part with correct wiring (see below), something I had spent quite some time searching for online and not finding.

Firstly I rewired my rear light. Hey presto! it worked. Because I have LED’s I have the Delay Unit removed (It had been removed since I originally took possession of my car following restoration) it comes on when one of the doors is opened and extinguishes when both doors are closed.

Next Mike also found a photo of the correct wiring on the version of dome light I had in the front. See below.

However Mike knew that this version of the light didn’t work with DeLorean wiring on it’s own. He also linked me to an article from DMC Talk forum that showed a mod that is required. A photo of the mod that is required is shown below.

I prepared my soldering iron and a piece of wire but then noticed that my light had a diode positioned between the two contacts that are bridged in the above photo. See Below.

I used the multimeter to test this diode and found it to have failed. So I soldered the above mod and refitted it. Alas this did not work. Having discussed with Mike I then decided to source the Renault part. I found it to be cheaper from renaultgenuineparts.com so purchased it and within two days it arrived.

Today I fitted the Renault part and now with the correct lights and the correct wiring both front and rear dome lights function on the setting that has them switching on and off with the opening of a door.

Everything you should know about Electrical Engineering

Electrical engineering is an associate engineering discipline involved with the study, style, and application of kit, devices, and systems that use electricity, physics, and electromagnetism. It emerged as a recognizable associate occupation within the latter 1/2 the nineteenth century when commercialization of the electrical telegraph, the phone, and power generation, distribution, and use.

Electrical engineering is currently divided into a good vary of fields together with laptop engineering, power engineering, telecommunications, radio-frequency engineering, signal process, instrumentation, and physics. Several of those disciplines overlap with alternative engineering branches, spanning a large variety of specializations together with hardware engineering, power physics, physics and waves, microwave engineering, engineering science, chemical science, renewable energies, mechatronics, and electrical materials science. See the gloss of electrical and physics engineering.

Electrical engineers generally hold a degree in engineering science or electronic engineering. Practicing engineers could have skilled certification and be members of a knowledgeable body or a global standards organization. There are various electrical engineering jobs as well. These embody the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), the Institute of Electrical and physics Engineers (IEEE), and therefore, the establishment of Engineering and Technology (IET) (formerly the IEE). The IEC prepares international standards for engineering science, developed through accord, because of the work of twenty,000 electrotechnical specialists, returning from 172 countries worldwide.

Electrical engineers add an extensive selection of industries, and therefore, the skills needed area unit likewise variable. These vary from circuit theory to the management skills of a project manager. The tools and instrumentality that a personal engineer might have area unit equally variable, starting from an easy meter to a high finish analyzer to stylish style and producing computer code.

Subfields

Electrical engineering has several subdisciplines, the foremost common of that area unit listed below. Though there area unit electrical engineers WHO focus entirely on one in all these subdisciplines, several manage a mix of them. Typically bound fields, like electronic engineering and laptop engineering, area unit thought of separate disciplines in their title.

Power

Power deals with the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity because of a variety of connected devices. These embody transformers, electrical generators, electrical motors, high voltage engineering, and power physics. In several regions of the globe, governments maintain an associate electrical network known as an influence grid that connects a spread of generators beside users of their energy. The users purchase electricity from the grid, avoiding the pricey exercise of getting to come up with their own. Power engineers may go on the look and maintenance of the facility grid still because of the power systems that connect with it. Power engineers may additionally work on systems that don't connect with the network, known as off-grid power systems, that, in some cases, area unit preferred to on-grid systems. The longer-term includes Satellite controlled power systems, with feedback in real-time to stop power surges and forestall blackouts.

Control

It focuses on the modeling of various vary of dynamic systems and, therefore, the style of controllers, which will cause these systems to behave within the desired manner.[74] To implement such controllers, electrical engineers could use electronic circuits, digital signal processors, microcontrollers, and programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Management engineering contains a wide selection of applications from the flight and propulsion systems of business airliners to the controller gift in several trendy cars.[75] It conjointly plays a vital role in industrial automation.

Control engineers usually utilize feedback once planning management systems. For instance, in an associate automobile with the controller, the vehicle's speed is unceasingly monitored and fed back to the system that adjusts the motor's power output consequently. Wherever there's regular feedback, management theory may be wont to confirm; however, the system responds to such feedback.

Electronics

Electronic engineering involves the look and testing of electronic circuits that use the properties of parts like resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, and transistors to attain specific practicality. The tuned circuit that permits the user of a radio to separate virtually one station is simply one example of such a course. Another instance of the analysis could be a gas signal conditioner.

Before the Second War, the topic was usually referred to as radio engineering and primarily was restricted to aspects of communications and measuring instruments, business radio, and new tv. Later, in post-war years, as shopper devices began to be developed, the sphere grew to incorporate trendy tv, audio systems, computers, and microprocessors. Within the mid-to-late Nineteen Fifties, the term radio engineering step by step gave thanks to the name electronic engineering.

Before the invention of the microcircuit in 1959,  electronic circuits were created from distinct parts that might be manipulated by humans. These discrete circuits consumed a lot of houses and power and were restricted in speed, though they're still prevalent in some applications. In contrast, integrated circuits packed an oversized number—often millions—of little electrical parts, chiefly transistors, into a bit of chip around the size of a coin. This allowed for the powerful computers and alternative electronic devices we tend to see nowadays.

Tools and Work

From the worldwide Positioning System to power generation, electrical engineers have contributed to the event of a good vary of technologies. The style, develop, test, and supervise the preparation of electrical systems and electronic devices. For instance, they'll work on the look of telecommunication systems, the operation of electrical power stations, the lighting and wiring of buildings, the look of house appliances, or the electrical management of commercial machinery.

Satellite communications is on which electrical engineers work on. Being fundamental to the discipline area unit, the sciences of physics and arithmetic as these facilitate to get each a qualitative and quantitative description of; however, such systems can work. Nowadays, most engineering work involves the utilization of computers, and it's a commonplace to use software programs once planning electrical systems. Still, the flexibility to sketch concepts continues to be valuable for quickly human activity with others.

The Shadow automaton hand system

Although most electrical engineers can perceive basic circuit theory (that is that the interactions of parts like resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors, and inductors during a circuit), the methods utilized by engineers usually rely on the work they are doing. For instance, quantum physics associated solid-state physics may well be relevant to an engineer engaged on VLSI (the style of integrated circuits), however area unit mostly moot to engineers operating with macroscopical electrical systems. Even circuit theory is not relevant to someone planning telecommunication systems that use ready-to-wear parts. Maybe the foremost necessary technical skills for electrical engineers area unit mirrored in university programs that emphasize strong numerical skills, laptop accomplishment, and, therefore, the ability to know the technical language and ideas that relate to engineering science.

An optical master is bouncing down an associate acrylic rod illustrating the overall internal reflection of sunshine during a multi-mode optical fiber.

Electrical engineers employ a wide variety of instrumentation. For straightforward management circuits and alarms, a basic multimeter measure voltage, current, and resistance could satisfy. Wherever time-varying signals have to be compelled to be studied, the electronic equipment is additionally associate omnipresent instrument. In engineering and high-frequency telecommunications, spectrum analyzers, and network analyzers area unit used. In some disciplines, safety may be a specific concern with instrumentation. For example, medical physics designers should take into consideration that a lot of lower voltages than traditional may be dangerous once the electrodes area unit directly to bear with internal body fluids. Power transmission engineering conjointly has excellent safety issues thanks to the high voltages used; though voltmeters could, in theory, be like their low voltage equivalents, safety and standardization problems build them different. Several disciplines of engineering science use tests specific to their training. Audio physics engineers use audio to take a look at sets consisting of a symbol generator and a meter, mainly to live level; however, conjointly alternative parameters like harmonic distortion and noise. Likewise, info technology has its own take a look at sets, usually specific to specific information, and therefore the same is true of tv broadcasting.

For many engineers, technical work accounts for under a fraction of the work they are doing. Plenty of your time may additionally be spent on tasks such as discussing proposals with shoppers, getting ready budgets, and determinant project schedules. Several senior engineers manage a team of technicians or alternative engineers and for this reason project management skills area unit necessary. Most engineering comes to involve some documentation and robust communication skills area unit, thus vital.

The workplaces of engineers area unit even as varied because of the sorts of work they are doing. Electrical engineers could also be found within the pristine science lab surroundings of a fabrication plant, onboard a military ship, the offices of a house, or on the website at a mine. Throughout their operating life, electrical engineers could realize themselves oversight a good vary of people together with scientists, electricians, laptop programmers, and alternative engineers.

Electrical engineering has associated an intimate relationship with the physical sciences. For example, the man of science Lord Kelvin vies a significant role within the engineering of the primary transatlantic telegraph cable. Conversely, the engineer physicist made significant work on the arithmetic of transmission on telegraph cables.Electrical engineers area unit usually needed on primary science comes. for example, massive particle accelerators like CERN want electrical engineers to manage several aspects of the project.

Alternator hook up youtube

Upgrade Your GM Charging System with A One This is important, as otherwise the battery will run itself down powering the field coil when the alternator is not operating.  Never short the field coil wire to ground, either.  Suggestions for the Would-be Alternator User Ideally, the alternator will be run at the speeds for which it was engineered 2000-10000 rpm.  Your position 2 wire with the ring terminal needs to attach to B+ post on the back of the alternator.  Tuff Stuff also has a for installing a one-wire alternator and how to choose wire gauge.  If the output voltage is too high, the regulator lowers the current flowing to the field coil.  We carefully traced the wires, as this regulator was originally wired into the horn relay, which acted as a power distribution point.

How to Install a 1 I see there is a separate ground on the diagram, but I don't have that wire the wiring harness states that you must make your own ground connections, but where should the ground connection be connected to on the alternator? Where does the red power cable with ring connector get hooked up to on the alternator? This is an explanation on how to hook up a 3 wire Delco alternator on an old tractor.  I apologize, this would have been a lot easier with a quick pic! Compact, but these alternators can provide big amps to power your electrical system with ease.  Follow the battery positive cable from the battery to where it is connected on the starter relay.  Here is a wiring diagram of the charging system used in the 1998-2002 crownvics.  The idea of this hook-up sounds great, but many people may not know how to do it.

Alternator DEMO Wiring, connection to Battery, Capacitors, Inverter, Modification This can be easily determined using a multimeter.  A 140-amp unit should use a 6-gauge wire, and 4-gauge to the trunk; 200-amp units should have a 4-gauge wire and a 2-gauge to the trunk.  In many classics and musclecars, the output of the alternator was simply to sustain the power needed to run the engine with the headlights on.  The regulator connection acts as a kind of internal voltmeter for the alternator.  We also tried connecting the original light from the Maruti 800.  I just went out and looked at that connector again and realized that it is hooked up correctly because it can only be plugged in one way.

How to Install a 1 The alternator output terminal is always live hot.  However, the initial emf may be too large a force to overcome, and the alternator may never become self-sustaining.  This will short out the current in the field coil, and the alternator will cease operating.  The original voltage regulator is removed.  We hope to pass on what we learned to others who may similarly not have a strong background in automotive mechanics.  Running a longer wire back to the battery will require a larger gauge.  Too high a resistance will limit the initial current and require a high initial rotor speed.

How to Install a 1 The larger the change in current, the larger the opposing emf.  The induction motor is powered from home 120v ac current I'm only using the motor because it much easier to talk over and explain things unlike with a loud gasoline engine running.  An extra connection from the alternator to the battery is necessary to allow other voltage drawing devices such as diodes, etc to be connected in series with the battery.  Install a 10-gauge wire to this terminal with a ring connector and run the wire to the back of the alternator.  The directions seem symple but when I connect.

How to Use a Car Alternator to Make Alternative Energy The resulting current is direct current, which can be used to charge an attached battery.  The folks at Powermaster say to never test alternator functionality by removing a battery cable while the car is running.  Sounds like you are saying the it should be hooked up to the stud that it is currently hooked up to, is that correct? Much more importantly, however, the light provides an additional resistance in series with the field coil.  Thank you for purchasing a Hartzell Engine Technologies alternator.  The beauty of this is that it eliminates those extra, messy wires going to the external voltage regulator.

How to Use a Car Alternator to Make Alternative Energy It must be connected to the battery’s positive terminal.  Once the vehicle is running, pulleys on the running engine rotate a belt connected to the alternator, which then causes the internal coils of the device to generate power to replenish the battery for the next start and provide ongoing electricity to operate the vehicle's accessories and lights while in operation.  They intend for it to go on the output stud of the alternator, but it may as well be jumped to the other black wire at the connector that is how a one wire alternator is wired.  The installation was extremely simple and we had the new alternator in place after about an hour in the shop.  You might also find a bracket that will work at a local junkyard.  Retrofitting a modern alternator and then wiring it accordingly is possible, but that often involves certain mounting adaptations, depending on the applications you are merging.  This hookup will do the job, but it allows a small amount of leakage of power.

How to Understand Alternator Wires This little alternator is perfect for race cars with 55 amp or less electrical loads.  It is important to take note that before the alternator is self-sustaining, the current flowing to the field is unregulated.  They will improve their effectiveness when the alternator is installed correctly, but when a 100-amp alternator will suffice, 200 amps will do very little other than empty your wallet more.  For one, it can damage the field coil, which may not be rated to handle such a high current. .  Finally, voltage regulators became electronic, and many manufacturers incorporated them into the alternators they governed.

Why do headlights dim when a car engine is turned on?

Headlights dimming when you start the car’s engine is usually normal, but it can also signal an underlying electrical issue. Here’s why it happens and when to be concerned:

1. Normal Behavior: Momentary Dimming During Engine Startup

Cause: When you turn the key (or push the start button), the starter motor draws a massive surge of power (150–300+ amps) from the battery. This temporarily drops the battery voltage (from ~12.6V to 9–10V), reducing power to the headlights.

Duration: Dimming lasts 1–2 seconds while the engine cranks. Lights should brighten once the alternator begins charging (~14V).

Typical in: Older vehicles, cars with weaker batteries, or halogen headlights (LEDs are less affected due to lower power draw).

2. Abnormal Dimming: Persistent or Severe Voltage Drop If headlights stay dim after the engine starts or dim while driving, it indicates a problem:

Common Causes

Weak or Failing Battery: • A degraded battery can’t maintain voltage under load. • Test: Check battery voltage (engine off: <12.4V = weak; running: <13.5V = alternator issue).

Faulty Alternator: • Worn brushes, bad diodes, or a loose belt reduce charging capacity. • Symptom: Lights dim when using accessories (AC, heated seats).

Corroded or Loose Connections: • Corrosion on battery terminals, ground straps, or headlight wiring increases resistance, causing voltage drop.

Overloaded Electrical System: • Aftermarket upgrades (amplifiers, light bars) strain the alternator.

3. How to Diagnose

Test the Battery: • Use a multimeter to check voltage (engine off: 12.6V ideal; engine running: 13.5–14.5V). • Load-test the battery at an auto parts store.

Inspect the Alternator: • Rev the engine to 2,000 RPM while monitoring voltage (should stay steady at ~14V).

Check Wiring: • Clean battery terminals with baking soda/water and a wire brush. • Trace ground connections (engine block to chassis) for corrosion.

Reduce Load: • Disconnect aftermarket electronics to see if dimming stops.

4. Solutions

Replace the Battery: Opt for a higher CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) rating if you live in a cold climate.

Repair/Replace Alternator: Rebuild or upgrade to a high-output alternator if needed.

Upgrade Wiring: Replace corroded cables or install a headlight relay harness to reduce voltage drop.

Switch to LEDs: LED bulbs draw less power and are less affected by voltage fluctuations.

When to Worry

Lights stay dim even after the engine starts.

Flickering or random brightness changes while driving.

Battery warning light appears on the dashboard.

Cost Estimates Fix Cost Range Battery replacement $100–$300 Alternator repair/replace $200–$600 Wiring harness upgrade $50–$150 (DIY) LED bulb conversion $40–$200

Testing the alternator and/or replacing the battery - what do you think? via /r/cars

Testing the alternator and/or replacing the battery - what do you think?

Hi everyone. Hoping you smart people can help me. I’ve got a 2008 Honda Civic 1.4 i-DSI hatchback.

It’s been very nice to own up until now - it’s developed something of an electrical problem which I’m currently trying to diagnose.

For the last few weeks the car will only start on a jump start. Once jumped it runs and stays running and it’ll do medium to long distances too. But left overnight and cold in the morning it tries to crank but fails.

I suspect it may be the battery but in the interest of conclusiveness I thought I’d look into the issue.

Some people have mentioned that a dodgy alternator rectifier can cause the kind of current draw that would kill the battery overnight. To try and test this theory I conducted what I saw online as a test of the diode function of the alternator. I held a multimeter in continuity mode up against the positive post on the back of the alternator and against the ground, with the negative of the battery unplugged. I understood this should give me a reading of some continuity one way and none the other way if the diodes were working. Instead I had complete continuity in both directions (the multimeter dropped from 1 before the test to 0.013 during). Is this a positive result for failed diodes or me messing up the test?

I’ll replace the battery as a matter of course since the car is ten years old but it seems odd that this issue would just come about out of the blue in the last week or so?

I’ve done a few other bits and bobs testing the car but not found anything concrete so I’m really grateful for any suggestions/criticisms or questions that’ll help me figure out what to do next. I’m on a bit of a budget so if I can diagnose the issue and look at the practicality of a fix rather than wheel it straight into a garage that’d be really useful :D

TIA. /rant

Galley Rack Outfitting: The crew continued with Galley Rack Outfitting today. They mated power, data, and fluid umbilicals to the Galley Rack in preparation for activation. They also relocated the Food Warmer from the Node 1 Starboard location to the Node 1 Galley Rack. Following this relocation the Food Warmer will be powered from the Galley Rack instead of the Ku-Band Power Supply. Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) Exposed Facility Unit (EFU) Adapter Transfer to the Exposed Facility (EF):  Overnight ground specialist at SSIPC maneuvered Japanese Experiment Module Remote Manipulator System (JEMRMS) from Small Fine Arm (SFA) Park Position to JEM airlock to grasp EFU Adapter with SFA. Then they unberthed the EFU Adapter from JEM AL slide table, transferred and install it to EFU 5. Finally, the JEMRMS was maneuvered to SFA Park. NeuroMapping: The crew set up the Neuromapping hardware and executed testing in both a “strapped in” and “free floating” body configuration. During the test, the crewmember executed three Behavioral Assessments: mental rotation, sensorimotor adaptation, and motor-cognitive dual tasking. The NeuroMapping investigation studies whether long-duration spaceflight causes any changes to the brain, including brain structure and function, motor control, and multi-tasking abilities. It also measures how long it would take for the brain and body to recover from possible changes. Previous research and anecdotal evidence from astronauts suggests movement control and cognition can be affected in microgravity. The NeuroMapping investigation performs structural and functional magnetic resonance brain imaging (MRI and fMRI) to assess any changes that occur after spending months on the ISS. Lighting Effects: The crew set up and configured the Light Meter hardware and obtained Light Meter measurements at various locations around the ISS.  Following measurement collections, the data was downlinked. The Lighting Effects investigation studies the impact of the change from fluorescent light bulbs to solid-state light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with adjustable intensity and color and aims to determine if the new lights can improve crew circadian rhythms, sleep, and cognitive performance. Sally Ride Earth Knowledge Acquired by Middle Schools (EarthKam): The crew performed a lens change out for the Sally Ride EarthKam equipment in the Service Module (SM) window and activated the equipment. Sally Ride EarthKam is a NASA education program that enables thousands of students to photograph and examine Earth from a space crew’s perspective. Using the Internet, the students control a special digital camera mounted on-board the International Space Station. This enables them to photograph the Earth’s coastlines, mountain ranges and other geographic items of interest from the unique vantage point of space. The team at Sally Ride EarthKAM then posts these photographs on the Internet for the public and participating classrooms around the world to view. SpX-10 Preparation:  Today the crew performed their Dragon Robotics Onboard Trainer (ROBoT) training session 1.  This training session included material for the crew to perform some Self Study before performing the ROBoT 1 session, which includes a 30m approach, two Capture Point (CP)-hold runs, and 2m runs.  Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Battery Charger Calibration Verification: Today, the crew ran a series of checks to determine if the Li-Ion Battery Charger is operating within calibration standards. This verification is required once every five years. The EMU Li-Ion Battery Charger Calibration Verification Device (LCVD) and multimeter were connected between the Li-Ion Battery Charger and EMU Li-Ion Battery in order to check the calibration of the battery charger. There were no issues, and the calibration was verified. Extravehicular Activity (EVA) Preparations: The crew completed maintenance on the Simplified Aid for EVA Rescue (SAFER) and Test Module seals. During the activity they measured the SAFER regulator pressure under flow and no-flow conditions, performed a leak check and measured the relief valve opening and reseated pressure of the SAFER.
