Black Knight pin blowing fuses
ChadTower:
And tell him to stop drinking weird colored melted butter. :dizzy:
SirPeale:
Finally drove up and got to check this beast out.
I'd brought a "lamp fuse" with me to help me troubleshoot. As soon as I plugged it in it started glowing, indicating a short. None of the solenoids showed any sign of a problem.
Disconnected J11, light went off. So I started unsoldering wires from the solenoids one by one from that connector until the light went off. Then started tacking them on again. But suddenly, the light went back on! I was thinking I had two bad solenoids (pretty rare) but thought better of it and checked out the board.
Battery damage! Not a lot, but enough to screw with the board. I brought them both back with me, and I'll replace the 40 pin and repair the damage.
Anyone in the 413 have a pin of this vintage I can test repaired boards in? I don't want to drive three hours to find out I missed something.
ChadTower:
Three hours in which direction? If it's this way you can drop them in my BK.
SirPeale:
Northern VT, up near Sugarbush.
ChadTower:
Eh crap. Well let me know if you're in this area any time soon for other reasons before you give them back, I guess.
