Hi All,
For those of you in the know , would you be able to confirm if, when the battery is removed, if there should be continuity between the positive and negative battery posts?
Specifically, I would like to know if the Legnum electrical system is such that there is continuity between the negative battery terminal (which is connected to chassis ground) and the second positive cable that goes from the positive battery terminal to the fuse/relay block by the battery (when the battery is disconnected)?
I removed the battery and did some cleaning/re-grounding of terminals and thought I’d take a multimeter reading for continuity between the positive and negative terminals to ensure there are no shorts (one would not expect there to be continuity between the positive and negative terminals).
Well, it appears that I do have continuity between the afore mentioned negative terminal and positive terminal that goes to the fuse/relay block, which seems to suggest a short circuit somewhere, BUT, I’m not sure if this is also by design. I should have taken a reading before I took things apart, but I didn’t and now I don't want to connect the battery before I'm sure. Hence, if someone could confirm if continuity between the negative terminal and the positive terminal is normal (ideally with their battery also disconnected) I would greatly appreciate it before I start the long process of trouble shooting.
Many Thanks in advance.
