Set will still not start because 15 v line is only 13.2 volts, no relay clicks, no ticking, replaced CR4118 with oem, pulled C4145 it esr`s good no leakage.I pulled jumper wire jw324 and 15 v line goes to 16.3, I replaced it and pulled jw320 and I get 13.9 volts so obviously 15v A&C lines are ok, the 15v B line is the problem. I`ve been pulling my hair out for 3 hours trying to find the short on this line, has anybody been down this path before??
