Brush Holder & Spring
- Check for smooth movement of brush in brush holder. If movement is sluggish, inspect holder for distortion and contamination. Clean, repair or replace as necessary.
- Check for continuity across insulated (positive side) brush holder and grounded (negative side) brush holder. If there is no continuity, brush holder is good. If there is continuity, insulation is bad. Replace brush holder as an assembly.
