Test Procedure 5, Continued:

2. Reverse the test leads and check the DC plug again (Figure 23-30). The circuit should show continuity
in only one direction.
E
3. If the circuit does not show continuity in either direction and the charger fuse is good, individually check
the continuity of the DC plug and cord (Test Procedure 8), ammeter (Test Procedure 8), diodes (Test
Procedure 4A), and all connections.
4. If the circuit shows continuity in both directions, a "short" exists in the charger DC circuit, usually
caused by "shorted" diodes (See Test Procedure 4). If diodes are not "shorted", check the DC output
cord for a "short" as described in Test Procedure 8.
5. Remove the blue wire from the charger relay and check the continuity between the positive and nega-
tive terminals and the middle pin on the DC plug (Figures 23-22 and 23-23, Pages 23-33 and 23-34).
There should be no continuity.
TEST PROCEDURE 6
Transformer:
Failure of the transformer may be caused by natural aging or shorting of adjacent coil turns. If the transformer
has failed, a low or complete lack of output would be observed on the ammeter; however, the transformer
may hum. A blown AC line fuse or circuit breaker in the charger and/or storage facility may have been caused
by a failed transformer. To test the transformer:
WARNING
• ONLY TRAINED TECHNICIANS SHOULD REPAIR OR SERVICE THIS CHARGER. ANYONE
DOING EVEN SIMPLE REPAIRS OR SERVICE SHOULD HAVE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE
IN GENERAL ELECTRICAL REPAIR. FOLLOW ALL PROCEDURES EXACTLY AND HEED ALL
WARNINGS STATED IN THIS MANUAL.
• ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES OR APPROVED EYE PROTECTION WHEN SERVICING THE
CHARGER.
• ALWAYS UNPLUG THE ELECTRICAL CORDS BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY REPAIRS TO THE
CHARGER. FIRST UNPLUG THE AC CORD FROM THE OUTLET AND THEN UNPLUG THE DC
CORD FROM THE VEHICLE.
1. Disconnect the transformer secondary coil leads No. 1 and No. 5 (Figure 23-31) from the diode termi-
nals.
2. In order to apply AC power directly to the transformer primary coil, the relay must be bypassed.
