Re: Is my motor fried?
This morning I went out to the garage and pulled the motor off the cart. I took the housing off the motor to get a look at the brushes. Everything looks good as far as there are no loose connections and there seems to be plenty of material in the brushes and a nice square contact on the commutator. All solder joints look good.
I put it back together and now I am getting a reading of 38 ohms from A1 to A2 and my multimeter did beep for continuity. All of the other readings are the same.
How much resistance is too much resistance? I few weeks back, I posted a thread about my motor seizing up which I believe was caused by it getting wet and then sitting for a month. I opened it up, cleaned it up a little, oiled the armature, and put it back together. Could this have anything to do with the resistance showing from A1 to A2?
