Two of the three GI strings on the backbox insert panel are out.
Two backbox GI strings out: the fuse was bad even though it tested fine in place
Cause: A blown fuse that read as good when tested in its clips.
Checks
- Take each fuse out of its clips and test it on its own; testing in place can read through the circuit.
- Then check the connectors, headers and the GI relay board's solder joints.
Fix
- Replace the bad fuse with the correct rating.
