Hi, first time here. My robot stopped working. I cleaned propeller. Next I check DC at maytronic ps all good. BUT, I'm not sure I'm checking continuity correct at cable end out of robot. Do I have this set correct? Do I have to use black prong opposite red prong when checking? Sorry for the hopefully easy questions
Testing continuity on dolphin premier cable at robot?

Turn the dial to here
It will beep if you have continuity- touch the two leads together to confirm this
The cable should be unplugged from the power supply
One lead goes to 1 end & the other lead goes to the same terminal on the opposite end of the cable
It doesn’t matter which one is red or black

Thank you! I'm guessing there's a short? Following what you said, and not knowing what prong end belongs to the other prong end of cable ..I fixed one multimeter probe on a prong and on the other end of cable I used the other probe going between prongs (3) ...I had readings (continuity) on 2 out of 3

I don’t think you should be getting continuity on 2 out of three pins as you described.
Is this a swivel cable? If so take it apart and troubleshoot both parts of the cable in the same way for continuity on each terminal.
