Condenser Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2001 Chevrolet Metro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Using a digital capacitor meter, measure condenser capacity. See Fig 1 . If capacity is not 0.5 microfarad (mF), replace rectifier.
