With the fan disconnected I have 12-13 volts across the red/white and yellow/white however whenever I plug in the fan the yellow drops to 2-3 volts. If I supply 12 volts directly to the yellow the fan spins up and runs fine. I have been using a technical service guide for a similar model, as one of the steps it says to check the power at the board with the plug disconnected, so it is 12-13 volts which is okay according to the manual. I have checked the resistance across the yellow/white (no continuity) and the red/white 1.8k ohms. I have also checked the resistance across the thermistors (j1-0 to j1-3,4,5) and they all seam reasonable according to the service guide I am working off. The voltage drop and the no continuity on the yellow wire is throwing me off, I am not sure if I should replace the board or the motor?
