[QUOTE="nicks electrix, post: 81219, member: 5041"] you are thinking along the right lines but like EVANS ELECTRIC asked did you pull the trigger? The best is to open the handle of the drill, locate the 2 wires going to the motor and testing for continuity between the 2. If the motor is ok then you will get a reading, obviously the more windings there are in the motor the higher the resistance will be. If there is no continuity at all between the 2 then your motor windings are burnt out. Hope this is helpful. [/QUOTE]
