SOLUTION(S)
Verify heater is connected to proper voltage.
Check to see if there is a resistance reading (not an
open circuit) in heater using an ohm meter.
Examine unheated module for damage.
Validate that the circuit breaker is capable of handling
the amp requirement of heater.
Examine heater and power wiring for any
damage.
Verify open circuit exists between bus wire and ground
braid.
Ensure heater length does not exceed maximum circuit
length (See tables below).
