Power Transistor (Mirage)

  1. Disconnect power transistor (distributor) connector. Using a 1.5-volt dry cell battery, connect negative end of 1.5-volt battery to terminal No. 4 of power transistor and positive end to terminal No. 3. See Fig 1.
  2. Using an analog ohmmeter, check for continuity between terminals No. 2 and 4 of power transistor. Continuity should exist. With positive end of 1.5-volt battery disconnected, there should be no continuity. Replace power transistor if it fails test.
