Re: [Chrysler300] Fw: Power supply

["Fern Rivard" <crc@xxxx>]

Don, just a little correction here. You mean that the power pack converts 12
volts dc to 200 volts ac don't you(not the other way around as you quoted) ?
I should really have a look at the schematic on one of those as you're right
that it should be fairly simple to repair. Usually in the case of something
like that, it is likely some of the capacitors that due to old age will
require replacing and the new ones available today will be much more
reliable than those old original ones from the early sixties.
