Troubleshooting Study the operating characteristics preceding the electrical failure to help identify the area of difficulty. Try to isolate the failure to a specific functional system; then check that area, repairing one component at a time. Attempting to repair more than one system at one time will lead to confusion.
CAUTION Remove all jewelry, especially rings and watches, before doing any electrical troubleshooting or testing. Disconnect the battery cables unless the test requires battery voltage.
Possible Causes and Corrections in the troubleshooting charts should be checked in the order in which they are listed.
For effective troubleshooting and repairs, you MUST have a good understanding of the electrical circuits and components used on this machine. (See Electrical Schematics and Diagrams section of this chapter.)
If the machine being repaired has any interlock switches by-passed, they must be reconnected for proper troubleshooting and safety.
