Yeah.  Try removing the 4-pronged wire in the rear corner of the drive
(the one all by itself).  Turn on the drive for ~30 seconds and then
turn it back off.  If the fuse is no good, it is a bad transformer or
associated wiring.  Otherwise, the fault could be in a number of places.
Try this and see what happens.  If the fuse is OK, send me E-mail and
we will try to work it through.
