Bought this thing on a farm sale 4-5 years ago and it's always worked great. Just noticed tonight it wasn't working. Red LED flashing, but no spark across the output terminals. Seems to me this thing used to tick softly, but silent now.
I found a fence wire dead shorted where it came off an insulator. No idea how long it had been that way, or if that may have damaged it.
Battery is well charged and ok, so opened it up for a look.
Just a circuit board and a transformer. Transformer has 4 leads, black and white, connected to circuit board, and 2 red ones, going to fence terminals.
Got 600 ohms across output side, .7 ohms across circuit board side black and white wires.
Is transformer shorted? Any way to test circuit board?
Can't find any information as to model or s/n of this thing.
