Not really electronics, I know, but I'm hoping some one can throw me a
pointer. I'd like to test for both safety and shorts/opens/too much
resistance. The only thing I could find on the web is safety testing
by electric utilities.

Any DIY help would be appreciated.


If you have the slightest doubt as to its safety, dispose of it. Faulty
electric blankets are not only potentially lethal because of the shock
hazard- they are a very real fire risk as well.

I speak from experience.
