Oscar: Good for the first read to understand car electricity
And the system in a car

Everardo Vasquez Ruiz: Básico, en realidad no te enseña a diseñar un círcuito desde cero, solo te dice que es cada componente pero no más... He estado buscando libros más especializados en el tema pero no he encontrado, lo recomiendo solo si no sabes nada del tema.

mmayo1: If you have a high performance, classic, hot Rod, etc., this is the book to have the high performance electrical system your car needs. There is no doubt.

Henrique Pereira Silva: Bem equilibrado entre explicação simplificada e definições técnicas. Atende mesmo a quem tem pouca noção de eletrônica. Ensina fórmulas, técnicas de soldagem, como crimpar cabos, entre outros. Atendeu perfeitamente às expectativas.

Howling Coyote: This is a fantastic book, and Tony Candela really knows how to put things in plain English. A couple of points I'd like to make:

#1: The book left you wanting more...more projects, more information...just...more. Which he is happy to give everyone - in the second book of this series...(sigh)

#2: Relays...they're important...they're awesome...they're the most important thing on the planet as far as Tony is concerned and when I finally learned about them, I couldn't agree more. However, for something so critically important...I felt his explanation of what the relay's job was lacked a bit of detail...maybe it was me, maybe I didn't read it well and I should go back and re-read it a couple more times...but...That being said, I read his book cover to cover and still felt I didn't quite "get" relays. One technical writeup I found online later, and I fully understood relays, how they worked, what they did and why they are just so gosh darned important in cars!

So, long and short - it's a great book, if you're like me, be prepared to look up relays online and get the real scoop...and be prepared to shell out another wad of cash for the second...

Long Time Reader: I am in the process of restoring a 45 year old car with atrocious wiring. After looking at the burnt wiring and tangled mess under the dash I went looking for a book that would help me figure out how to rewire the car. I ultimately purchased four books on automotive electrical projects, including Tony Candela's "Automotive Wiring and Electrical Systems" and his follow-up book "Automotive Electrical Performance Projects". Candela's two books are truly superb. If you are new to automotive electrical projects I recommend starting with his first book (Electrical Systems) then read the book on Performance Projects. The two books together lead you through the simple theory you need to understand the practical application of actually installing the wiring. I'm still in the process of installing an aftermarket wiring harness, plus rewiring the battery/Alternator/Starter system and upgrading the ground system for the entire vehicle. The books helped me decide what kind of wiring to upgrade, the tools I needed, types of connectors, how to install headlight relays and numerous other factors. There are quite a few books out there that tell you about Ohm's law and other...

S Abdel-Razek: This book has quickly become one of my favorite books!

I am currently rebuilding a 1986 Chevrolet blazer and, as well as other aspects, the electrics do require a great deal of attention.
I purchased this book from Amazon as a complete beginner with absolutely no confidence in electrics, but I was motivated by the potential financial savings and the ability to learn more about my car.

This book did not disappoint! Firstly the book is very easy to read and follow (and I have no electrical back ground at all). I began with small jobs such as changing individual wires, ensuring connections where good, really just dipping my toe and getting my confidence. I have now moved on to slightly bigger jobs such as installing the wiring for the fog lamp system and installing a new wiring harness for my horn and I am make improvements on a weekly basis and learn something new! I am progressing up to bigger jobs as my confidence grows and I hope to soon start being able to fault find as well!

If you are in the same situation, either you are looking to do electrical work on your car, either a complete overhaul (like me) or just to be able to fix odd jobs...
