Procedure 4B - Both Diodes Failed:
To check the diodes, use the diode test procedure 4A. If both diodes have failed closed, both charger links
will be blown. If both diodes have failed open, the relay will close and the transformer will hum, but the amme-
ter will indicate that there is no output. If both diodes have failed open or closed, the entire rectifier assembly
must be replaced. The following steps should be used to determine why both diodes failed:
1. Check the batteries and the receptacle to be sure that they are wired in the correct polarity. Also check
the voltage and polarity at the receptacle.
2. Check to be sure that the charger DC plug is wired correctly; the red wire should be connected to the
center terminal of the rectifier assembly, the blue wire should be connected to the relay coil, and the
black wire should be connected to the left side of the ammeter when viewed from inside the charger. If
a reverse polarity connection is made between the charger and the batteries, both fuse links will blow
whether or not the AC cord is plugged into an outlet.
3. Although this is rare, both diodes may fail as the result of a lightning strike at the charging location.
4. Excessive heat due to a loose connection may also cause both fuse links to melt. Be sure fuse connec-
tions are torqued to 20 in.lbs. (2.2 N-m).
5. Be sure that the charger is wired properly and that all connections are clean and tight.
TEST PROCEDURE 5
Continuity Test of Charger DC Circuit:
1. Using the continuity tester (Club Car Part No. 1011273), connect the test leads to the pins marked (+)
and (-) on the DC plug (Figure 23-29, Page 23-42), and note the readings.
