I e tested 4 now and after 10 min none of them close completely or at all. Either way could it be because of a bad connection? Not hot enough? I know atleast one, the newest one was tested as good and is very clean. I know they can go bad inside but I do not think they all are.
But after 10 min of car at idle its still pulling air thru, suggestions please. Phil |

I tested the electrical function using a VOM to determine if the resistance of the heating elements was within spec ... 12~15 ohms.
I used a 12 volt, 20 Amp bench power supply with a 10 Amp in-line fuse to power the heating elements. AARs get extremely HOT when you power them up for 10~15 minutes! I used compressed air to check for full air flow when cold, and NO air flow when hot ... If you don't have a compressor, attach a short length of appropriate sized hose and blow (human lung power). |
