Mine did this right from the start. Trace the 270 volt wire from PS go amp module, thru the Z bracket. Somewhere the 270 is going low. Mine had a bad cap on the circuit board near the 270 V connector.

The interlock switch and hardware checks out good.
I've had this amp for a couple of years. Removing the p.s. now to check it out as Bill mentioned. thanks 73 Dwight NS9I On 2/12/2014 11:44 AM, Brian Alsop wrote: > Or the interlock hardware is installed wrong. > > 73 de Brian/K3KO > > On 2/12/2014 17:28, bill conkling wrote: >> Mine did this right from the start.

Measure the voltage at end of wire thru Z bracket while not connected to the amp module. And also connected. Should be 270 V. Mine was 12 V when connected.
