Jess Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 To be reading continuity between the negative and positive terminals when the key is in the Run position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 You're checking ohms on the two battery terminals? Resistance is something you never check when there's power, anywhere, and you never check on a battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 Not between the battery terminals with the battery attached. I'm checking continuity between (what I believe to be) "Fuse Link F" (eyelet from the Starter Relay to the Ignition Switch) to ground, but theoretically it's between the two terminals since the Positive cable is connected to the Starter Relay. With the key off there is no resistance, in the Run position my meter goes up to 50%, when the key is turned all the way to start it moves to 75%. I'm just wondering if that's normal behavior. I've blown two alternators and a battery so far, trying to hunt down where the short is, or what's going on. Spent yesterday looking through the electrical manual and it helped, but I'm not an expert at electrical diagrams so I can't decipher what is normal behavior.
