The accessible multimeter I use was purchased from a Canadian friend. Some on the list have offerred to help in this. If no one chimes in you might check the archives for a past posting. There is also one available in US for something like $600 which is nuts. I don't know of any accessible car code readers yet. Stuck with sighted help. I know it ain't always available If you have the buck a factory service manual is best. Sighted help or equipment to read text is needed. Ford products manuals are sold by Helm co. I think they do others but don't have the info handy. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mickey Fixsen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Saturday, August 05, 2006 12:07 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Accessible OBD-II unit
