check the connections to the first heater again. Disconnect power and check continuity of the heater element.

Taz,

At the heater that does not work, check at the opposite end to where you are making your connections. You should have the two leads connected using a Marr type connector. You might want to check that this connection is good.

Good luck, Jim
