This study is focused on the development and application of automotive lighting system simulator device to help understanding of the repair and overhaul, electrical instrumentation and automotive circuit checks the contents of the automotive electrical system. The purpose of this study is to define the circuit numeracy, circuit repair preparation skills, detachable power, circuit analysis capabilities, inspection and measurement capability, and repair (problem solving) skills, through the cultivation of clean ability to increase the understanding of electrical equipment maintenance circuitry to verify the improvement of the repair. Automotive electrical device requires understanding of the invisible parts, and understanding of the various symbols and complex circuitry to measure the basic checks and repair are indispensable. This paper would likely contribute to help students to gain more interest in the fields that they feel difficult such as basic skills which necessary to cultivate a variety of electrical equipment fault diagnosis of the basic knowledge needed for electric cars practical.

The purpose of this study is to define what circuit repairing ability is and to check improvement in learner's circuit repairing abilities by verifying conformity of learner's achievement of target goals that have been derived from headlight assignment based on circuit repairing ability that has been categorized into six sub-factors, which are preparing ability, attaching/detaching ability, circuit analyzing ability, inspecting and measuring ability, repairing (problem solving) ability and organizing ability. In order to achieve the purpose of study, degree of improvement in circuit repairing ability of learner's group was measured through experiment design and verification by group of experts. SPSS statistics program was used for statistical analysis in which average value for descriptive statistics, Cronbach ${\alpha}$ coefficient and t-test were conducted. Level of significance for t-test was p<.05. The conclusions from conducting this study are as follows. Firstly, the usage of terminology 'circuit repairing ability' pertaining to ability to repair failure of electrical devices in automobiles was confirmed to be appropriate. Secondly, the categorization of circuit repairing ability into sub-factors of preparing ability, attaching/detaching ability, circuit analyzing ability, inspecting and measuring ability, repairing (problem solving) ability and organizing ability was confirmed to be appropriate. Thirdly, field instruction on headlight assignment that has been revised according to achievement of learner's goals was confirmed to be effective in improving learner's circuit repairing abilities compared to regular training. Fourthly, field instruction on headlight assignment that has been revised according to achievement of learner's goals was confirmed to be effective in improving sub-factors of circuit repairing abilities, which are preparing ability, attaching/detaching ability, circuit analyzing ability, inspecting and measuring ability, repairing (problem solving) ability and organizing ability.
