[DML] Re: Cruise control question

[doctorDHD@xxxxxxx]

Ryan,
 
The reading of the ohm meter has to be done with respect to what range it  is 
set at.  I doubt your meter is reading 0.489 ohms.  I'd guess it  may be 489 
ohms, which may actually be normal.  To confirm this you'll have  to check the 
specs with the manufacturer or compare with another coil.  Of  course you 
must make sure that you disconnect the coil from its circuit prior to  taking 
your reading as the circuit itself may affect the reading.
 
Keep us informed.

Thanks for the reply, Ed! 

I think the coil is bad.  My ohm meter shows "1" for an open circuit
and "0.000" for closed. The coil  tested at "0.489", so I'm guessing
it's bad. Boy, I sure hope fixing it is  this easy. I'm going to take
it back to the store tomorrow and swap it for  another one.

The magnets are fine and I got the coil as close as I  dared. I
reviewed the directions several times, everything is  installed
properly as best as I can tell, although I'm still not sure if I  was
supposed to use just 1 magnet or 2. (1 for RWD, 2 for FWD is what  it
says. I used 2.)

Anyway, I greatly appreciate your reply. Without  it I would not have
known how to test the coil and wouldn't even have  thought it could be
bad. It's all brand new so one just assumes it should  be good. :)

Thank  you,
