Another way to do it is stick your pinky in the oil level pipe and your tongue into the coolant and compare that to the feeling from licking a 9v battery. If the tingle is anywhere less than 18x as buzzy then replace the wiper fluid.

This makes no sense to me at all... but maybe I am missing something. I am a shade tree mechanic with a degree in electronic engineering, so it's not like I don't get what is happening. Why would the difference in potential between the chassis ground and a random spot in the coolant mean anything? How could you quantify it? There will be major variances with coolant chemistry, block and radiator metallurgy, harness wiring, and others. What could this possibly tell you, and why would the desired reading be consistent between many different vehicles?

Correct, however. What happens when something detoriates more and more and becomes more conductive​ @@GoingGoneGalt? Right on, that voltage will increase. So you are not wrong, but theres multiple roads you can walk.

If you car has an electric radiator cooling fan it should be on when AC is on. Cooling fan running has to help radiate heat out from the condensor that is taken away from the cabin. This is why you should get cool air from the evaporator when the cabin fan blows air through it's spaces. Also check the outside of your condensor and radiator for debris that may reduce or impede the flow of air. With engine cold, Check coolant level, if low, do a static pressure check with a free tool from advance auto or AutoZone. A great time to look for coolant leaks. Pressure test the radiator or expansion tank cap. It should open at approx. 20 psi (see your vehicle specificity). If aforementioned checks out ok, take to a qualified technician.

Unfortunately, the best advice I can give you is to take your car into a mechanic shop, because I have no idea what you are trying to speak of.

If you need to top off your coolant in a pinch, and you don't live somewhere where it is currently dropping below freezing or expected to, then you can use pure distilled water. Though it is always best to use whatever coolant your car is designed for.

@@WakeUpAmerican000s that is very true, that’s also why I said in a pinch. Because if you are in an emergency situation, distilled water, will at least help get you to somewhere where you can get the proper coolant.

You can if you’ve sprung a leak and just need to get home/to a shop, but you need to flush it afterwards asap. It will cause engine damage, possibly a lot faster than you’d think and obviously if it gets below freezing you’re playing a very dangerous game.
