Where were you putting each lead when testing? What meter setting?

Quoted from Rodp:I put one side on the ground bar and the other at the white and black wires at the fuse block and then at the transformer. I set my meter on the a/c 200 setting. When I check the other terminals using this method I seem to get proper readings.
Try measuring with the fuse removed, that will isolate the transformer from the rest of the pin. If something was pulling it down that would find it.
Try measuring both leads on the transformer. The 6V should come out of the lugs with the black-slate-slate (goes to the fuse) and black-black-black wires.
Also, it looks like there's two fuses? Which have you been testing?
Quoted from Rodp:It tested both to the ground plate and they are both reading under 1 volt.
Try testing between the two to be sure. They should both be a white base with three stripes (black-black-black and black-slate-slate)
Quoted from Rodp:You are right. When I test both terminals as you stated I get 6.3 volts.
Transformer is working still then, that's good. So you've probably just got a connection issue somewhere. Time to start tracing continuity along the wires
Could also be an issue with the tilt relay
