Have you tried throwing it across the room? ;D
A new list, to make sure I'm not missing something or interpreting incorrectly. I am temporarily out of new ideas. I wish I could see the situation in person. I will try to ask too many questions here.
module 1 works in either wiring harness.
yes
module 2 has radio in wiring harness at full gain on output attenuator, but works ok at lower gain setting. (barely lower? ok at 99% pot rotation, but not 100%? does radio come on suddenly at one volume, or does it come up in volume with final part of pot travel?)
Radio come on after about 10 sec after power on
both modules deliver proper gain, and show typical current and voltage.
yes
A
complete transplant of transistors from one module to the other does not make the problem move to the other unit, nor does it solve the problem.
correct
connector pins 8, J, and H are all connected together a a single point somewhere, and are tied to ground. We went through a diagnosis on page 2 of this thread, that I'm sure you have studied, but worth mentioning again.
pins 8, J and H are all connected together on card edge connector an tied to ground
input connector shield is tied to case ground at the connector end, and not to module ground.
yes
ground connection at AC wall outlet good? Try connecting to a different AC power source to be sure of ground?
yes no diference
Is it possible to take and post any pictures?
