Simpleton7016 Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 I just scavenged some lights off of one of the tractors I just picked up. How do I test to see if they work? Can I just use a battery charger and touch the leads?
Burntime Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Some are 2 wire and put the leads on each side of the batery, others are grounded thru the case, touch the wire to the + and the case to the -
Simpleton7016 Posted February 15, 2009 Author Posted February 15, 2009 There is no wire though. Can I just clamp the (-) on the case and touch the positive clip to the two leads on the bottom of the light? Also, do you want to just meet at my house before heading up to Hartford? I can pick Mark up first (unless he got another ride) then meet here at say 12:30?
BLT Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Sealed beams have at least two terminals, and are connected either way as far as ground and powered. Bulbs are have a brass case and one or two lead tipped terminal in the center. The brass is equipment ground and the center is powered supplied. Neither beam or bulb is polarity sensitive.
