Re: [DML] help! no power to fuse # 7

["DMC Joe" <dmcjoe@xxxx>]

The power feed to the rpm relay comes directly from the 12 volt bus
(terminal connection for all 12v + wires) located behind the parcel shelf
back wall. It is extremely unlikely that there is a problem at the junction.

Try this test before you proceed any further. Pull the # 7 fuse and check
for 12 volts at the driver side blade. Replace the fuse with a known good
fuse, you should now see 12 volts at the solid brown wire at the RPM relay.

Let me know your results.
