I am going to be testing some transmission solenoids this weekend, so I built a wire lead set and installed an inline fuse holder from Radio Shack.
However, upon testing my wire leads, I found that I had continuity in the positive lead even though there was no fuse inside the holder.
To further confirm this, I connected the leads to my battery, and found that I had 14.6 volts with or without a fuse in that holder. I mean that fuse is the part that should be providing the continuity........which led me to believe that I got a defective fuse holder.
Does anyone agree.......or is there another way I should be testing it?
Here are photos of what I am talking about. BTW, the fuse holder has a small led that should glow if the fuse blows. But it did not turn on when I had it connected to my battery without a fuse.
Thanks.
