Week 3 (4/18-4/22) Headlight/Belt

While checking one of the pieces of equipment I found that one of the headlights was out. So, naturally, I figured the bulb was bad. I opened the housing and tested the post that connects to the jumper wire that feeds the bulb and found 12v. Bulbs bad! After installing a new bulb I was disappointed to find that it was still out. Bulb was good... I figured out fairly quickly after that with some closer investigation that the jumper wire was completely corroded inside as I did not have 12v coming out the other end of the wire. So after kicking myself in the butt and listening to my coworker make fun of me for a minute or two, I replaced the jumper wire and now the bulb works just fine. Lesson learned, go to the LOAD and work your way back.

Also got to replace some belts on the push back, not too exciting but it's fun to work on and thought I'd post some pics.
