So I am always getting random things on my desk to repair so thought it would be a good time to start another new little series as they arrive on my desk. The Sh!# My Wife Brings Home.
Today we deal with Fluke 88 with blown fuse that is not reading 12v but everything else is working.
the Fluke 789 I had on the bench a few weeks ago had a broken plug that needed to be removed from the unit. picture is in the video of it.
Yes I am aware I used Ground as description of the negative on the meter when talking about the terminal, lead and probe.
Sorry should have shown the 12v not reading before hand. the 12v wasn't reading due to the lead issue as well as the fuse being blown. I have seen a few people facepalm my repair on this but the end result its working. And the guy that got it repaired payed for the parts only. (less then $10 Canadian (not including new lead), compared to 400 to be sent away to fluke)) Start simple and work your way up if it resolves along the way you know what the issue was diagnose and test. By the way I have only cracked open a few fluke meters by no means am I an expert.
