:) My issue though right now is figuring out which contacts those are, since the relay doesn't move when I move the speed selector forward. Ohhhh, wait a minute. THe only time that relay is supposed to move is when moving it from reverse-neutral to forward-neutral on the speed selector, or vice versa! (right?) I was for some reason thinking that it clicked one way when moving into reverse speeds, and clicked some other way when moving into forward speeds, but in a neutral position was open on all connectors. But, thinking about it again, I'm thinking it only is supposed to engage once - when moving between forward neutral and reverse neutral. So, I can look at the contactors that it touches during that move and test'em. For some reason I was thinking there was another click that I wasn't seeing, so didn't know which contactors to test.
Thanks, Mike
