It is impossible that there was no voltage at the B terminal with the test wire attached to it. What the heck are you doing? Are you reading the instructions carefully?
Gerard, you are mixing us up as far as the "Sequence of Events". Please explain the sequence of events. You say fuse blows, tried the test wire, fuse does not blow, took off linkage fuse blows................we don't know when test wire was used during these events. Please advise when old hot wire was used and when new hot wire was used.
We want you to use ONLY the test wire and a inline fuse on B. Confirm you have a wire directly from the battery to an inline fuse holder, out the holder to B.
Confirm that H, L and P wires go directly to the motor. Confirm if they go thru an inline connector or not. I understand that it looks like a binding issue or bad motor. BUT WE ARE NOT THERE YET. We will be in a few minutes after you answer carefully. Don't guess that you did things right, actually look at the set up of your tests again with an open mind or you will not find a possible error.
To illustrate my frustration and confusion and distrust of tests: You say no voltage at B terminal, but when test wire touches L, motor moves. Which means the test wire was hot. So when it was attached to B and terminal was tested, how could there be no voltage???????????? How are you testing for voltage? What meter or devise? Do you have a meter and know how to use it?
I assume that during both L tests, fuse did not blow? I assume during L test, no linkage attached? What size fuse is in the inline fuse holder?
I have another test coming.
This post is very important, please read and answer each question.
