KP-3 Probe

Post by n2xd »

I ordered and received a KP-3 probe this past week. I haven't installed yet. I downloaded the latest wiring drawings that are fresh today 11-21 and same probe with the same part number has 4 wires. The probe that i received has 3 wires. Help the poor boy out please. Thanks.
