If set to the proper voltage scale, I didn't realize you could smoke the meter. If it's not good for the range it says, why do they put that range on the meter to begin with? Now, I could understand blowing the internal fuse if the amperage was too high; but if the DVOM is set to the proper scale, why would it get fried? I don't know much about capacitors on these motors; I just know mechanics. Wife THINKS that, because I'm a man, I should know everything there is to know about plumbing, electrical contracting, roofing, concrete, construction, and septic systems...so obviously, since I've never worked in ANY of those fields, and never had training in any of them, I'm a deficient member of the species. Maybe I'm not to swift on this troubleshooting thing...but I figured that, before I started worrying about capacitors, maybe I oughta check to see if there is any voltage going to the motor to begin with. Is that the wrong way to proceed? I just figured that, if the electronic control module isn't switching power to the blower motor, the problem might well be in the electronic module...and if there IS voltage to the motor, THEN I can investigate why the motor isn't running. Or is my logic faulty in this line of reasoning?

Identifying Tractor Smells - by Curtis Von Fange. We are continuing our series on learning to talk the language of our tractor. Since we can’t actually talk to our tractors, though some of the older sect of farmers might disagree, we use our five physical senses to observe and construe what our iron age friends are trying to tell us. We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS
