POWERDRIVE 3 – MODEL 26560
DC Cord
1. Disconnect AC cord from the wall outlet and DC plug from the vehicle receptacle.
2. Remove the charger cover.
3. To check the continuity of the DC cord, disconnect the black wire of the DC cord from the fuse
(Figure 6-23, Page 6-27).
4. Disconnect the red wire of the DC cord from the ammeter.
5. Disconnect the blue wire from the charger relay.
6. Place the clip of the continuity tester on the red wire of the DC cord.
7. Place the continuity test probe on the positive (+) pin of the DC plug (positive (+) and negative (–) pins
are identified on the plug). If tester does not indicate continuity, the DC cord must be replaced.
8. Place the continuity test probe on the negative (–) pin of the DC plug. The tester should indicate no con-
tinuity. If tester indicates continuity, the DC cord must be replaced.
9. Place the continuity test probe on the unmarked (middle) pin of the DC plug. The tester should indicate
no continuity. If tester indicates continuity, the DC cord must be replaced.
10. Move the continuity test probe to the black wire of the DC cord.
11. Place the continuity test probe on the negative (–) pin of the DC plug. The tester should indicate conti-
nuity. If tester does not indicate continuity, the DC cord must be replaced.
12. Place the continuity test probe on the unmarked (middle) pin of the DC plug. The tester should indicate
no continuity. If tester indicates continuity, the DC cord must be replaced.
13. Move continuity test probe to the blue wire of the DC cord. Check for continuity at the middle pin. The
tester should indicate continuity. If tester does not indicate continuity, replace DC cord.
Transformer
The PowerDrive 3 battery charger transformer has two sets of coils: a primary coil and a secondary coil
(Figure 6-10, Page 6-15).
Primary Coil
1. Disconnect AC cord (6) from the wall outlet and DC plug from the vehicle receptacle.
2. Remove the charger cover.
3. Carefully cut the heatshrink (7) that insulates the AC cord white wire (4) where it connects to the tan pri-
mary coil wire and disconnect the white wire (4) (Figure 6-22, Page 6-24).
4. Disconnect the black primary coil wire (5) from the relay (Figure 6-22, Page 6-24).
5. Place the continuity tester probes on the disconnected primary coil wires. The tester should indicate con-
tinuity. If tester does not indicate continuity, replace the transformer.
6. If the correct readings were obtained, install the AC cord and connect the transformer primary coil wires.
See AC Cord Installation on page 6-33.
Secondary Coil
1. Disconnect AC cord from the wall outlet and DC plug from the vehicle receptacle.
2. Remove the charger cover.
3. Remove the transformer (black) secondary coil wires (1 and 2) from the rectifier (Figure 6-9, Page 6-11).
4. Place the continuity tester probes on the disconnected secondary coil wires. The tester should indicate
continuity. If tester does not indicate continuity, replace the transformer.
