Im doing a dual a pillar mod and its going good. Currently my rcm is visiting Tiged1 in AZ for a fix. So I hook the battery up, take out my test probe and turn key on to acc/hot and begin to look for hot fuses. As Im touching them, I get some lights and then my spoiler goes up? Hummm, then my radiator fan kicks on! Enough of this so I shut it all down. Is this because theres nor RCM to control functions and I hot wired these actions? Could anything be damaged? Or can someone explain what happened?

Guess Id better wait for the RCM to come home

Are you using a Test Light or an Ohm Meter ? I would suggest you use an Ohm Meter if not. Using a test light supplies a ground to the circuit.

Sounds like you are energizing the various circuits as you make contact through them.
Stop playing!
