Re: (ET) tractor no worky



I think the other realy is return to neutral for the PTO.  I know I've lost contactors due to shorts.  I've made the mistake of trying to remove the charger without disconnecting the battery cable going to the rear pack.  I lost a contactor on that one that otherwise appeared fine.

Jeff - it's a little over 38 V. The forward/reverse relay is a fresh one I
just put in to replace the one that may have been blown - but I still get
the same symptoms. Hm, I can't remember what that other leaf relay is
for....

Thanks,
