heated hose testing? S9

Post by roadkingrick » Tue Dec 17, 2013 4:59 pm

Anyone know how to test a heated hose on the s9 ? I think I may have broke the connections

Although I have one myself, I am not intimately familiar with how the tube is wired. My guess is that it would be a coiled loop that begins and terminates at the head end. That being said, you should be able to test the continuity and/or resistance across the contacts with a digital multi meter to determine if you have a break in the wire.

Mine doesn't feel warm but I know it is working because I am not blasted with cold air. Put a plain hose on your machine and you can tell the difference.
