C100 power leads info! (LOOK)

Hey guys just for clarification on your C100's and if you ever run into problem where the plug is broke off and your not sure which leads go where. The fused red lead is not a positive lead at all. It is ground and black is hot.

I can show video of it unless my meter is lying. But I highly doubt it since I followed the battery traces as well and came up with same conclusion. The fused lead is a ground wire.

So in closing I'm not going to make any assumptions that all C100's are exactly like this. I do know 3 for sure have a negative fused power lead but in reality it usually is positive lead that would be fused. So if you ever run into an issue where your uncertain either test lines with ohm meter unpowered or follow traces to see where they go. Of course the meter is always safest bet

Boomus is right!, Assuming that model is a C100F, Not C100FF, I have a C100FF, it has a switchable 120/240VAC.
