Electric Retarder

[Ralph L. Fullenwider]

Steve:

I don't have the prints in front of me, I would start by checking the input
power for a faulty or corroded connection. Then find the circuit breaker
the control power is connected to, you may have weak breaker. Just a couple
of thoughts.

Safe travels,
