That may help you with       having only 100v on the White wires. I take it that you measured from a       white wire to ground. Is that correct? That could indicate a poor ground,       Check the wire connections at the motor. Also, try tapping different parts       (safely) to see if the lights suddenly come on. That could help narrow down       your search.       --       Buffalo              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
