    • To test the two-pronged end, place and hold a conductive object (e.g. a screwdriver) in between both pins.

    • Make sure that the conductive object is in constant contact with both of the pins.

    • Observe the red light on the testing box. If the wires in the two-pronged end of the body cord are functional, the red light on the testing box should be steady.

    • To test for breaks in the two-pronged wire, keep the conductive object in contact with both pins and move the cord in all directions beginning at the two-pronged end until you reach the end of the cord.

    • Keep an eye on the red light on the testing box. If you encounter a problem area in the wire, the red light will flicker or turn off.

    • Take note of the location of the break in the wire when the red light begins to flicker or turn off.

    • Attach the alligator clip to the smaller pin on the two-pronged end.

    • Observe the green light on the testing box. If the wires inside of the alligator clip are functional, the green light on the testing box should be steady. Otherwise, the green light will flicker or not turn on.

    • If the break is close to the alligator clip, you will need soldering which will not be covered in this repair guide.

    • While keeping the alligator clip in contact with the smaller pin, move the cord in all directions beginning at the three-pronged end until you reach the end of the cord.

    • Keep an eye on the green light on the testing box. If you encounter a break in the wire, the green light will flicker or turn off.

    • Take note of the location of the break in the wire when the green light begins to flicker or turn off.

    • You have now completed the diagnostic procedure! The break could either be on the wire close to the end of the alligator clip or the two or three-pronged end.

    • If the break is close to the alligator clip, our guide does not cover the repair. We will cover the repair for the break close to the two-pronged end. The process for the three-pronged end follows the same process.
