board (RIB)
If fuse blows again, disconnect the board leads one at a
time to identify the cause of the blown fuse:
Lead 70A
Leads FP and FN at the rotor
Repair or replace the component causing the blown
fuse.
Section 7
If fuse continues to blow and the previous step did not
identify the cause, check the continuity of leads FP and
FN and the leads from the P14 connector. Replace any
bad leads. Use a pin pusher, part #241918 (large) or
241919 (small) to remove leads from the connector, if
necessary. If replacing the leads does not solve the
problem, replace the RIB.
