Trio
Assembly:
Using a commercial diode tester or
12
volt
DC
test lamp; check for continuity from each terminal
separately to the
0+
stud; continuity should
be
observed
in
one direction (polarity) only, and all
diodes should check alike. If any diode is defective replace the entire diode trio assembly. See
illustration below.

Diode Rectifier Bridge Assembly:
Using a commercial diode tested, check for continuity. Check betweenn point A and each of three
terminals C for negative diodes. Continuity should
be
observed
in
one direction (polarity) only, and
all diodes should check alike. Then check between point B (B+ strap) and each of the three
terminals C for positive diodes. Continuity should
be
observed
in
one direction only, and all diodes
should check alike. See illustration below.
If any diode is defective, replace the entire diode rectifier bridge assembly.
