I was going to send this but got interrupted. Probably a good thing, looks like your diodes are not high voltage with a big power drop. Maybe useful later.
Do you know how to test high voltage diodes? I found a good test for the big diode in a microwave, using a car battery and a resistor in series with the diode. Measure the voltage drop on the diode, should be 6 volts with the diode allowing current (proper orientation) and then full battery voltage when you reverse the orientation. 12v should be more than enough to flow current, a typical DMM using a 9v battery is usually not enough voltage to test a big HV diode. Here is the link, lots of other useful / fun reading too. http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/micfaq.htm#mictsthvd _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
