chart below:
Pattern of Symptoms
Look for:
Several light faults with
mostly ring-battery crosses
with tips clear.
Water in the cable at some
location other than a splice
or encapsulation.
Several high resistance
troubles with shorts, cross-
es and grounds on both tip
and ring with some tips
open.
Water in a splice case or
encapsulation.
Both solid and light troubles

shorted and some open;
many faults.
