After completing the firewall forward wiring harness section (Section 45A) I applied power for the first time and absolutely nothing happened! (On the bright side, I don't think any of the magic smoke escaped.)
When I turn on the master switch, there is no LED indication on the switch and the cooling fans do not move.
There is about 13V at the battery side of the master relay and basically zero volts on the other two terminals. These values don't change when I flip the master switch off/on. I hear no clicking in the master relay. The red band on the diode is oriented correctly. I have a good ground from the battery to the airframe.
Do I have a bad master relay? A bad master switch? Is it safe to put a jumper across the master relay for trouble shooting purposes? Do I need to connect power to any wire besides P150 (which connects the battery positive terminal to the master relay)?
Any suggestions welcome.
