G8E troubleshooting checklist

mitchg · 10-04-2009, 04:27 PM

Greetings.
I am attempting to troubleshoot a G8E for the first time and need a stepwise algorithm for this(if one exists). I checked each battery and there is about 6.2V in each. The white charger button is not depressed. When depressing the pedal, I can hear the solenoid click and occasionally when in reverse, the buzzer come on, but not always. I have a multimeter, but am not sure what to check in what order and what proper values should be in different conditions(i.e. key on/off, pedal depressed or not etc.) The 10A fuse is not blown.

What next ?

Thanks

Mitch
