[Electronics_101] Re: How to test contactor coil

Had you told us from the start that there is a 24V transformer we would have come to the conclusion much quicker. Instead you fed us details piece by piece, which makes it incredibly difficult to build a picture of what you have there.

Sorry If I had a schematic or wire diagram I would have took a photograph of it and posted it to this thread.

You Said:
you should place the black probe on one side and the red on the other. If both sides of the coil have the same voltage it is like a bird sitting on a high tension wire - it is not energized.

This was good advice and the bird on an a wire analogy make the advise easily understandable. I was able to track down the issue and the pressure washer is working great. (a side note, this is deluxe pressure washer and heats the water up to 230 degrees. I would not have spent two minutes on this project if it did not have the heating functionality).

I repeat this because you sometimes seem to be hard to instruct. ;-)
