Thank you for the clarification and I do appreciate the help; however, 45U is reading as an open lead “OL†on my meter, where all of my other ground leads read 0.2-0.6 ohms. This is really my concern because that doesn’t make sense when the adjacent capacitor reads 0 ohms on the negative lead (41U). I would expect similar ground state readings. I don’t have a spare cap to test this through substitution and there is no physical damage to the cap. Solder joints have been thoroughly checked.
I guess what I am looking for is what damage can occur if the cap is bad. How can both I verify and safely proceed to powering the unit to test voltages when the manual clearly states not to proceed to powering the unit if all of the resistance checks don’t pass. “If a terminal was listed as 0 ohms, and measured greater than 1 ohm, DO NO PROCEED†(p46).
