More than likely it's toast...it either works or it doesn't....check and see if you are inside your warranty.

Doesn't sound like you had the wires hooked up backwards if it ran before. Maybe the gap is too large? They won't work if the gap is set too large. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
I don't recall any way of testing just the unit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |
