N-TYPE - A semi-conductor material that has an excess of free electrons.
NAND GATE - A type of logic device that requires all inputs to be YES in order for the output to be NO.
NEGATIVE POLE - Point from which an electrical current flows as it passes through a circuit.
NO-LOAD TEST - A test for starter motors in which current draw is measured when the starter's pinion gear is not engaged.
NOR GATE - A type of logic circuit that if either input is YES, the output is NO.
NORMALLY CLOSED - Refers to a switch or a solenoid that is closed when no control or force is acting on it.
NORMALLY OPEN - Refers to a switch or solenoid that is open when no control or force is acting on it.
NOT GATE - A type of logic circuit that has an inverted output; if the input is YES, the output is NO, and vice versa.
NPN - A transistor with a P type base sandwiched between an N type emitter and collector.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
