    Low voltage lighting transformer? Can/should it be fixed?

    Another learning venture for me, and admittedly I know little about transformers.

    This is a low voltage lighting transformer I bought off Ebay. Sadly , it failed in less than a few months. It was in a wet location, and the circuit manage to trip and possibly destroy my old GFCI outlet that was wired in with it.

    The transformer is wired with a dusk/dawn switch, but I believe I bypassed that on the bench, and still have zero voltage on the output side. This transformer was previously hooked up to just two LED outdoor lamps.

    Thanks for any help!

    set your meter to resisance.
    then check the output wires,
    the input wires,
    and the thermal fuse.
    (that's the 2 solid wires you see with the red & white)
