So in my limited elec knowledge I believe that circuit is not making a complete the circuit.
How exactly are you testing the page like clips. The power will come in from one side and out on the other so there should only be power on one side.
That's exactly what I was thinking. There should only be power on one blade. It would be unusual for that board to fail in that manner. Did you check for power at the fan? Or use your DVOM to make sure that you have a complete circuit across the blades for the fuse?
Good point. You folks might be on to something. I do have very limited elec knowledge. I'll be first to admit it. Only experience I have is neighbor retire Boeing engineer (now passed away couple years ago) showed me how to wire a shed and we re-wired part of my house.
OK, fan in bedroom wouldn't work. (I put this fan in about 3 weeks ago) Changed batteries in remote. Still no work. Visually looked at fuses at fan and dist panel, still no work. Turned on everything on in TT. Discovered fan in bath also didn't work. Pulled covers on each and no elec to either fan using volt meter. Pulled fuses at dist panel and using buzzard setting on volt meter check every fuse. They all set off buzzard and still no power. Ran volt meter probes across spade connectors where fuses slide into. Volt meter went from "0" to "1" at each fuse location, except one. On that fuse spot the volt meter goes from zero to 0.25 And that fuse location lines up with label on cover of "fans". That is how I found where the problem is. And I think it was me that broke it when putting in fan 3 weeks ago. I had fuse in and out many times. When I was done putting in fan everything worked. However, I didn't run the volt meter across spade when done putting in fan, I assumed connection was good as fans were working.
(Plan for later today)...being it is OK to remove screw on panel I'll see what is behind and hopefully just a loose connection and tighten screw.
I haven't been a member all that long, but this forum is really handy sometimes.
Thank You very much for help and replies.
