Nope. That looks like a 12v voltage tester. (I'd use a multimeter)Is this what you are referring to…?

Got it.Nope. That looks like a 12v voltage tester. (I'd use a multimeter)
A tracker puts a modulated signal on a wire (very low frequency AM radio) such that the wire acts like an antenna broadcasting a signal that can be picked up by the receiver. You don't need contact - I've traced the wiring hidden in the boat, in walls, etc.. You do get crosstalk on other wires, but once you figure out how to use one they're a pretty good tool.
Mine's a cheapie, like $30 or so.

Something like this:
Great tool for finding wires and continuity. If the wire is broken no signal gets through. Also known as a tone generator. Used all the time in the phone biz. When faced with a thousand groups of wires in a terminal box, put a tone on a specific wire at the house and you can find it in the box.A tracker puts a modulated signal on a wire (very low frequency AM radio) such that the wire acts like an antenna broadcasting a signal that can be picked up by the receiver.
