About this isolating thingy

Chip, <br />Some of this is conjuecture, but here we go: <br />Does the motor have two wires to it? If it only has one, the other side is coming from the frame, and you might be toasted (someone else may know a way around that). <br /> <br />With the meter set to some relatively small Ohms scale.. <br />Between the two wires you should have a pretty small value. <br />Between either wire and the frame you'd like to see infinite Ohms. <br />Once the leads are disconnected from the wheels you'd like to see infinite Ohms from any wheel to either wire. <br /> <br />I think that should cover it, basically the trick is that the input to the decoder (wheels) tot the output of the decoder (motor leads) can't be touching. <br /> <br />The lights are another matter, and I have been confused there, so I'll let someone else jump in. <br />
