A few years ago, I added a signal bridge (

Cranking up the baseboard heat eliminated the problem so I assumed the signal bridge had failed & ordered a new one. Installed that yesterday & yet the problem persists.
I'm going back today & verify that the supply wires are hot, but assuming they are, I have a few questions:
1) Is there any way to test the unit with only a multimeter?
2) Should I just assume I was sent a bum unit & return it for another?
3) Any other possible explanations for this behavior?
