    MEP-002A Multiple Issues...

    Well, I have it up and running again. I got the replacement switch installed (S1) and the diodes replaced on A1. Funny enough, I discovered after I already had them chopped out, that my meter was not testing them correctly. I bought a good meter that had a diode test setting and re-tested...

    MEP-002A Multiple Issues...

    I would think that as long as the strainer element fits in the can, and seals to the top, it doesn't matter. In fact, the larger surface area the better. Not too long though, so it won't be sitting in the gunk in the bottom of the bowl.

    A bit of an update: I have verified the switch is bad and I have likely 1 good pump. The other two are questionable. When applying 24V to the first, it tries to weld my jumper to the battery. The second makes a sound, but much quieter than the Aux pump, which seems noisy enough to be ok. I...

    Handy? Heh, I am the kind of person that thinks if another person can do it, so can I....most of the time. ;-) I just got done testing the switch (S1). Everything having to do with PreHeat and the pumps are bad (11,13,15,17). Everything else is fine (25,27,28 I think). So I have labeled...

    MEP-002A Multiple Issues...

    I would be shocked if all 3 of my pumps are bad, since I had all 3 working just a day ago. But, once again, if the switch is not passing current, then the pumps won't happen at all. For that matter, the diode (A1) may be fine if the switch is borked. Anybody know if I can disassemble the...

    MEP-002A Multiple Issues...

    yeah, in fact, that was the first think I checked, and did replace the fuse. I have a bit more new info after some testing: 1. I did try to test the switch, got a bit frustrated, as some would test others did not. So i am not sure on this as I am not 100% sure it wasn't the tester (i.e...

    MEP-002A Multiple Issues...

    yeah, that was a consideration...if I can ever get it running again. I didi find the switch testing procedure, so I'll test it and a few other things later today.

    MEP-002A Multiple Issues...

    Yeah, that is what it seems. I did manage to have it running (with no battery charging) for .4 hours before this. ;-) I have a bad feeling I am looking at the replacement of the A2 (VR ASSY GEN - does this stand for Voltage Regulation Assembly?) or CR2 diode. How would you recommend testing...

    MEP-002A Multiple Issues...

    Hi All. I have a few things going on. A few leaks, batteries not charging, control panel breaker popping when priming...but those have become secondary to my latest find. I think my main switch (S1) is bad. First, the physical issue is that it seems to get bound up from time to time. The...
