Maybe someone here can figure this out. I have a Red Snapper model 88 fence charger that no longer charges the fence. I've replaced the wire so it's one continuous strand from the box to the end. When I put a tester on the wire, it doesn't light up to show a current. If I unhook the wire from the box, and test the lead, it'll light up and if I pull the ground it'll light.
So maybe the ground isn't good any longer? I've been using an 8' ground rod that's about 6' in the ground. The ground wire is two strands of hot wire wound together and clamped to the rod. The fence at this point is dead.
Any suggestions would be more than welcome. I've used up my electrical expertise...
thanks
