help identifing some resistors,

copy that Jim , I will remove them and check.....
Just to clarify, you don't have to "remove" them to isolate them. You can just de-solder one end so it's not connected to the rest of the circuit. It's then "isolated" so you can test it as an individual component. For troubleshooting, that's the preferred way of doing it. 50% less work that way.
 
Getting the order of the color bands is tricky. I could not find Black as a tolerance so assumed the Black to be the first digit.
 
Color me stupid but why wouldn't he just jumper the circuit (for a few seconds) see if the tool works?
If that works THEN figure that fuse is blown, isolate and test like Jim suggests.
The meatball mechanic.
Cuz when things die you gotta do a cost benefit analysis.
If it's cheap and easy to fix go for it. If it's cost or time prohibitive, you already have it apart for the recycling bin.
Some of my kludge fixes have been soldiering along for decades.

Jim, back in1966 PG rated version was Biloxi beer rots our young guts but vodka goes well. I find my basic electronics training still handy today.

I did a TDY while with GEEIA at Chanute AFB, installing some equipment for training. Good to hear from another airman.
 
Chanute, with it's Rantoul Ragweed never forget it. We were housed in old WW2 barracks. My room had the $74 hole in the wall. Below the window was a hole big enough to throw a cat through.
I went there for my tech school training. I was an Air Crew Egress Systems Technician.
Ejection seats. I went in on an open electrical and this is what I got. Not to much electronics. An occasional wire for setting off explosive charges.
