3. Meter should indicate a high or infinite resistance (no meter movement) when
connected one way and a low reading when connected the other. If both readings are
high or infinite, rectifier is open. If both readings are low, rectifier is shorted.
4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for two other rectifiers in heat sink.

8. Meter should indicate a high or infinite resistance (no meter movement) when con-
nected one way and a low reading when connected the other. If both readings are high
or infinite, diode is open. If both readings are low, diode is shorted.
9. Repeat Steps 6 through 8 for the other two diodes.
