MTH PS2 5V Slave Board - Smoke Fet

Your element is grounding out to smoke housing.  Does it have the insulator inside?  Make sure elements not touching side of housing.  FET looks fine.  You need an adapter cable to test a slave board with test set.  G

You also need a 3V PS/3 board or a PS32 with the 3V connectors.

Apparently, the slave harnesses are out of stock.  I'm guessing that's probably a permanent condition since they've moved on years ago from the master/slave architecture.

Thank you! I will double check the elements and housing today after work. There was a super thin white/clear insulator that cameout in a few pieces. I can't find it on the parts site but still browsing. Thank you! 🙂

Thank you John! I have been putting your old test fixture to good use! Had a feeling there was a special way to configure the slave board for testing haha.

Yep, you have to cable the slave board and the master to the test harness to exercise the slave board  I suppose it would be possible to build one of those cables, but for the few times you'll run across a slave board, one wonders if it's worth it.  I bought the cable when they were still in stock.
