[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 520489, member: 250"] If you have no continuity of the CPC's.. Then any voltage readings / IR readings are about as much use as a chocolate teapot! Floating conductors can give all sorts of random voltages as you have no reference to measure against.. And IR to a wire not connected back to electrical earth is not much different to an IR test with both you probes/clips just resting on a wooden desk.. You NEED to back-pedal to basics of doing R1+R2 continuity and polarity throughout the whole circuit before attempting any other test readings.. otherwise you are just pi55ing in the wind. :coffee [/QUOTE]
