The haynes manual says to check for continuity between pin- A (positive lead) and pin-B (negative lead)...theres no continuity. Can the haynes manual be wrong?
I found another manual...that says to check for resistance between the same pins: put positive lead on pin-A and the negative lead to pin-B) and to check for resistance, if the resistance is below 10k Ohms...then I should replace the power transistor..so I went and checked the resistance between A and B pins and the result was 20.2M Ohms (mega ohms)...(This manual was from AUTOZONE online manual repair guide)
I read in a blog that if the transistor is bad...the car WOULDNT START!!
What do you suggest?
Can the car run...with a bad power transistor?MY Cars POWER TRANSISTOR MIGHT BE FAULTY?
"if the resistance is below 10k Ohms...then I should replace the power transistor.."
You get a reading of 20.2M.
I do believe that is above 10K so you're okay.
If you get a resistance reading between those two pins then there has to be continuity.
