My wild life give a far shock when it resets.
The shock seems to come from the control unit 25 volts.
The shock happens when the final reset is made.I can hear the 25v reset coil activate,and bang.I get the shit shocked out of me.
I did a wire trace at motor and u relay,but everything looks good.No shorts.Hmm
So,what could be causing this.
It has a 2 wire electrical cord on it.I know I need to update this to prevent more shocks.
Where would I connect the ground wire?Base of transformer,then maybe run a ground to the lockdown assembly?

you'd ground it to the transformer, yes... then run grounds to everywhere else you want to, and tie those to the transformer as well...

but... you have to have a short/f'd up connection somewhere...
