@ BABM: Any decent hardware store ought to have 'em in the electrical connection area.
Have you checked the PS output directly (without a wire/cable connection)? It may be your connector...
So, would I just touch both test leads inside the 12V output? Red to the center, and black to the outside?
Could I have fried it inadvertently? If my wire gauge is wrong or something? Or if I accidentally touched the terminals together? Don't want to screw up the new PS, too.
bigassbassman,Look at slayer's pic. that black part is the on off switch for the Power Source. Make sure its to the left as I believe that is the on position. I bet you have it in the off position....I too was having problems until I realized my stupid moment....lol
Here's my cord I made:When hooked up to the M18 PS (yes, switch was on) I checked the terminals with my multimeter and registered 0V.Double checked my SLA battery terminals showed ~12-13V, so the meter works.I guess the 12V output must be fried? What would cause that? I don't do a lot of electrical work, so any input would be appreciated!
Nate, looking at your picture, you'll want to hook your terminals to your fish finder first then to the power source. If you hook to the power source first, your terminals may touch and that would create a dead short and maybe burn up your power source. Hope that makes sense.
I may have missed it somewhere, but has anyone tried this conversion with the DeWalt power source? Seems like it would work exactly the same.
Looks like it should be the same I just make sure you order the DCB-091 power source that has the 12v out heated power jack. Now I just need to find a cable that will plug into it so I can test it out. I'll try and update next week when my adapter comes in.
