Radical!
Bally, 1990The lights in the right side of the insert of the Radical I'm working on never switches on (the green circuit). I've replaced the burnt GI connector but that sadly didn't fix things.
Fuses are all ok. I've checked continuity from the transformer up and I get to the insert relay and then the circuit is open beyond that. Is the insert relay likely at fault? What should I be looking for?
Is there a connector on the relay you can reseat? If not, maybe the relay is bad or the wiring or transistor that drives the relay is bad. You've done the investigation and know it's the relay, just need to determine why the relay isn't working, or if it is, why power isn't getting past the contacts.
Check this source and see if it will help you locate your issue.

Looks like there's a few problems.

Thanks. That's a great confirmation that I'm looking at the right things.
