Pingman posted:Dan, if you have already answered this before I apologize. Are both OTC contactors working properly; i.e., are the blades "hot" and short if briefly connected to the center rail?
Have you tried simply using test leads to see if each shoe, when energized, will cause a bin to dump?
Good luck!
No apologies needed, Carl. More often than not, I can't recall something I did a few minutes ago.
Yes, both OTC contractors are working. I did not do the test lead thing, but did check continuity between them.
I finally used Rob's solution and ran a wire from the right hand clip on one OTC to the outer rail. Then I made sure that both contractors were positioned the correct distance from one another so that both contact shoes on the car rested on them at the same time.
