Q: could you use this to trace automotive wiring, say from a turn signal light to the blinker module? I guess the 2 major concerns are could you just attach 1 clip to one wire and be able to find that wire and 2nd will it still work even if there is something at the other end of the wire like an ecm.

Yes, but there are a couple of caveats. First, as others have said, it has to be a dead circuit. This toner is designed to be used on a circuit with no power. Otherwise you will kill the toner. Second, this unit is very powerful. What that means is that you can get a lot of signal “bleed”. For example, the more exposure your signal wires (wires A) have to other wires (wires B) the more time bleed you will have on ‘wires B’. If they cross paths you could pick up the tone on wires A you are testing on as well as wires B you are not testing on. If they have a lot of exposure, for example if the wires run side by side over a good distance (such as wires bundled together in an automotive wiring harness) you will get a VERY STRONG tone on wires B. So strong that you can’t tell the difference by tone alone. That’s what’s nice about the continuity feature. You can confirm by shorting the pair of wires you suspect and the tone will change confirming that’s the pair of wires you have your leads hooked up to. So, yes, but you need to confirm it.

Q: I've had three wall outlets go dead (not at the same time) within the past few months. Would this tool help me find the problem? If not, what can I do

If you mean a Power Receptacle then no you need a Power Receptacle Tester, its a 3 prong tester with 3 LEDs you plug it in and tells if you have a short etc. If your house or office is properly wired the junction box should be labeled correctly and should be able to reset the breaker. Other wise you have a bad breaker and need an electrician.What this tool is for is for tracing Phone and Network Cables back to a Panel when the jack and panel have not been labeled correctly. Basically it emits and audio tone across to wires and you would not want to connect to high voltage Power lines you would destroy the device. Their is a similar item for electrician at flukes web site I believe this what you want, http://en-us.fluke.com/products/electrical-testers/fluke-t5-1000-electrical-tester.html

Q: Electrical panel was stolen and the wires were cut. Could I use this to trace cut wires back to the pumps, lights, etc.?

So long as the wires are not powered - and you have access to the un-shielded wires at the other ends (outlets, lights, pumps) then it can be done. Two people and communication makes the job faster. Remember to trace mainly the Hot or Phase leads, since the Neutral and Ground will go many different places. Also, to get started, cross-connect all the Neutral leads at the panel location and use that for the 'Black' lead on the Toner. I've done this a few times. I hope this helps.

Q: Can i use this to trace a coax cable

I use these to trace bundled coax inside a cable headend (data center). Strip the coax to expose the stinger. Clip the red aligator clip to the exposed coax copper stinger. Clip the black alligator clip to a non painted metal surface. I use a screw that is sticking out of the rack or to the rack ground strip inside the rack. Also clipping it to the base of a ground lug that is bolted to the grounding strip works well. That will give you the most accurate and loudest signal when tracing a cable in a large bundle.
