BJD3 Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Before you did the big 3, did you have this issue? What are you using to measure voltage? Are you sure the meter is correct? See if you can't get your hands on a known good DMM. Quote Anti Peel and Seal...lol You may be offended by the above.
