COMMANDO1 23 #3 Posted June 15, 2012 THE NEGATIVE AND THE POSITIVE WIRE LEADS THAT GO TO THE BATTERY TO BE CHARGED IS OFF, SO BASICLY I NEED TO KNOW WHERE THEY GO. THERE IS A MAGNIT LOOKING THING IN THE BOX. DOES THE POSITIVE HOOK TO IT OR THE NEGATIVE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

THERE IS A MAGNIT LOOKING THING IN THE BOX. DOES THE POSITIVE HOOK TO IT OR THE NEGATIVE Hmmmm. Is that magnet looking thing a transformer?? After the transformer, there should be a couple of diodes. Those are where the output wires go. The diodes may be bad, and that is why you got it so cheap, and why the wires were cut off. Do you have an ohm-meter to check the diodes with? BTW, turn your caps-lock off. It's synonymous with yelling on the internet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
73-18 automatic 8 #6 Posted June 15, 2012 Could have a bad diode, capacitor, or even a blown fuse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
COMMANDO1 23 #7 Posted June 18, 2012 No, the wires are so dry rotted they broke off when i was handling it,and i dont know which one goes where. i will use a meter to figure out.....ill have to borrow 1. thanks model no b3612 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamesBe1 84 #8 Posted June 18, 2012 That'll work. While you're at it, you should set your meter to AC and check the ripple to see if the diodes are still good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
