PD 9260 Issue
I have a 9269 that I bought from Best in May of 12. Recently the pendant stopped working, so I bought a new one and installed it a couple of weeks ago. It changes mode as it should now. I'g gett...

You have said a couple of times "All the proper voltages"
But .. Just out of coursity.. What are those voltages?
Page 2: How did you hook up your new converter.. Did you hook it DIRECT to the batteries (thus bypassing the Tri-metric's current sensor?)
I mean 13.2, 13.6 and 14.4 (+/-) depending on what mode it is in. It is not a new converter, it's been in use for 3 years. I just replaced a defective pendant.
I think what happened is that I had to unbolt the unit to plug in the new pendant. I probably stressed the ground cable that was improperly installed and it lost good contact with the lug. I installed it so no excuses. I believe the corrosion present acted somewhat like a semi-conductor allowing a voltage reading with a VOM, but not passing any significant amps. I learned a long time ago to check this type of problem with a test light, not a VOM but I foolishly skipped that test and just did an ohm test on the cable from the wrong point.
The negative cable was and is connected to the ground side of the shunt, not the battery per Trimetric's instructions.
Thanks all for your help.
