"chasing the current is much faster and more objective than any other means of troubleshooting "

This is much easier than looking at voltages since you do not have to actually make a connection. You just clamp the meter around a wire in the circuit in question. If your meter has a "peak hold" function, this is the time to use it.

Thanks for the link, Mark. My old Craftsman clamp on meter is dying and I cannot justify paying for a Fluke.
