Reply to "Chuff Generator Install Help"

I will wire that in tonight and see what it does.

 I am not ruling out me doing something dumb with the install.   As for the wiring, I am using one of your 5 volt dc board kits.  I built that and tested it with my meter and confirmed its putting out 4.97 volts dc.  I have that connected to the hot (rollers wire) and frame ground.  The DC end is then connected to the chuff board.  The original chuff switch was connected to the motherboard via a 3 pin molex connector (only 2 pins were used ).  I removed that connector (and switch) and created a new molex connector with only one wire coming off of it (the non ground connection) and fed that to the chuff board.  I even put a piece of electrical tape over the motor to ensure the chuff board does not ground out to the motor casing.

I have 3 other chuff boards I am going to install in other locs.  I am hesitant to try one of those boards in case something is screwing up this current chuff board.  Do i need to trace the chuff input from the motherboard and see where it goes?

Should I put a meter to the chuff wire and to ground to see if there is voltage?  Should I get any readings on that wire?
