@lectricgenius Ahhh, thanks.

@juniortore1 They weren't so much of a dead short as it was an "open circuit".

I have a car battery charger rated for 15 amps, and I was only drawing about 2 amps form it and then BZZZZZ and my lights dim. I took it apart, and plugged it back in for a few seconds, unplugged, and felt the diodes, they were hot as hell. The meter doesn't move, but I know the diodes are shorting as they come before the meter. I was wondering, when your diodes died, did they just turn into a direct short? I need to fix this before my dad gets a little unhappy *to say the least*

@moi04ful They were diodes out of an industrial power supply.

Hi lectricgenius I enjoyed that video a lot as I have a $200, 30 amp charger that charges for a few seconds and then shuts off. I'm not bright with electrons but I notice things are hot in there and no fuses have blown what should I replace? Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

@bushengineer1 It is hard as hell for me to diagnose stuff without having it in front of me. As far as what you should replace its impossible for me to tell you and be right

@quickoneeh I would need to see a picture of it (or a wiring diagram) to know exactly what you have.
