  1. Thanks Jim.

    I think I did that. I took my HF multi meter, put the black lead on the ground bar, and touched the red probe to the input side of the fuse, and it burned about 1/4" off the probe. I thought I was just testing to see that the meter worked, and my next step was to put one probe on one side of the fuse, and the other at the other end for continuity. That is when I decided I didn't want to take a chance of ruining the charger.

    So...My next step was to get my 'non contact' electrical tester out. It shows power at the incoming side of each fuse, at the outgoing side of each fuse, and at the far end of the wires off of the outgoing side of each fuse. To me that shows continuity, and that the fuses are ok.

    Am I wrong? Could it still be a fuse?
  2. GE Charger failure.

    There *should* be two internal 50 amp, 500 v ceramic fuses inside. With the power disconnected, use a DMM to check them for continuity.
