Help, I have 12 volts on my chassis
A friend of mine was cleaning his mobile radio. When he went to plug
the power back in, the middle pin (offset) was loose and pushed back into the radio, allowing him to put the connector in backwards. (hot to ground) This killed the radio. (he had no inline fuse at the time) I told him I would look inside of it for him. Once inside I found nothing burnt. After fixing the dummy pin, and connecting power with the correct polarity to a D.C. power supply on my bench, the radio still wont come on. When I started checking for voltage, I found that I had 12 volts on the chassis. It is on both sides of the on/off switch with the switch off. The 12 volts is everywhere. Does anyone have any ideas about what to check next? It is hard to use the meter when everywhere shows 12 volts.... Thanks, Bill |
