The Basics: Intro To Automotive Electrical

Automotive electrical can feel like black magic — but it doesn’t have to. Join us for a hands-on evening class led by one of our own members, M27 Autowerks, and get demystified.

We’ll cover the fundamentals: tools, connectors, wire types, and how to actually use them. You’ll learn how to pin and depin connectors, safely crimp wires, and use a multimeter without frying anything (or yourself). Expect real-world examples, live demos, and a full wiring harness to explore.

This class includes a practical activity where you’ll get to work with real tools and materials — no watching from the sidelines. Whether you're chasing a short, building a harness, or just want to understand what the hell your car is doing, this is for you.

Come get hands-on, ask questions, and finally start to unlock the dark arts of car wiring.

Expect friendly rivalries, chaotic pit lanes, and bragging rights that last way longer than the race. Whether you're gunning for the podium or just out to have a blast, this event always delivers.

All skill levels welcome—just bring the energy (and maybe a helmet if you’ve got one). Spots are limited and this one always fills up, so grab your teammate and lock it in.
