Peaches are coming on and I'm having electric fence issues. last night I was testing the fence and found I was not getting a pulse every second, maybe every 4 seconds. The charger is clicking/light flashing every second.
I used the tester on the fence and "sometimes" I would get a full reading. Other times I would get nothing just holding the tester. I even touched it with the back of my hand and nothing. Tried again and got a shock.
Then I disconnected the the hot lines from the charger and tested from the ground lug to the hot lug, nothing. Then using an insulated bar I touched the ground lug and slower moved towards the hot lug. It would pulse every second but it had to be within 1/8 of an inch. I have seen it jump a gap of 3/8 inch in the last few days though.
Is this controller dead?
