EL Inverter Testing - Curt Sprenger - 09-24-2006 08:53 There is 12VDC going to the upper dash EL inverter (only one inverter). Using a clamp-on meter, clamping round one inverter wire at a time, should I get ACV reading from at least one of the wires? I tried this and no ACV reading on the meter. Could the rheostat cause a no load condition to the inverter, and in turn cause the inverter to go bad? -- Curt Sprenger 1987 PT38 8V92, Anaheim Hills, Calif.

Clamp around only one wire, not multiples. Curt Sprenger 1987 PT38 8V92, Anaheim Hills, Calif. Leroy Eckert wrote: >Curt: Where did you buy that clamp on meter?
