Radio Shack Rectifier

Post by young4vr » Sat Jul 12, 2008 12:48 pm

I just bought and have installed the radio shack rectifier, but when I go to hook up my battery, I get a spark. I put the brown and yellow wires on the ac, the red wire on the DC + and ran and ground wire from the DC -. Do I not have it grounded right, or is it something else??

Did you use both ac terminals? Brown to one ac and yellow to the other..Pretty straight forward.Joe
