Tom, just taking the steps like you guided me helped...I feel more comfortable taking things apart and figuring out how they work...I also realize I should have bought a voltmeter with a clamp...darn, need three hands to get all the readings (lol). Spent the rest of the day visiting a former Secretary of the Army in the Nixon Administration named Froehlke... 91 yrs old and he is sharp as a tack...loved hearing his stories about the Chinese from back then...Had a late lunch with him and then it was cocktails...so I guess he liked having our attention. Am posting a couple of pics of the inside of the black EMS box...what actuates the relay? I'm looking forward to what EMS says is the fix. Is it a bad relay? or does one of the boards control the switch? I know think I could install one of these things but I definitely need to get a better wire stripping tool for the bigger guage wire...any suggestions?
