Re: (ET) Clicking contactor & blown controls fuse follow up question

[RJ Kanary <rjkanary consolidated net>]

     A scale of 100 ohms or less would be preferred. A high impedance meter could read continuity on the dust and accumulated acid residue that is found in that area.

    A meter with a needle, like the HSM shows would be more appropriate for what you are checking. From what you describe, there is a dead short across the fuse holder. If that is indeed the case, that fuse should never opened.<G>

E15 early model AA:

With power disconnect OPEN,

key switch OFF, and

Seat switch OPEN,

should there be continuity as measured across the EMPTY Control fuse holder?

If this is not normal, is there a likely suspect as caused by a too quick FWD to REV throttle movement resulting in a nlown fuse.

Thanks for any suggestions.
