			=== Combo Module ===
			To test the striker output of the Combo module, use the steps above as for the DC Striker Module.
			* Hold the red meter probe to the bottom of the striker fuse
			* Touch the black meter probe to the middle lead of Q1
			** The voltage drop should be around 0.5 Volts - shorted outputs will be near 0 Volts (and fuse will be blown - do not replace)
