RXV Help
My RXV will barely move in forward or reverse. Feels and sounds like the brake is sticking. I have replaced the brake but it still does the same thing. Any suggestions?

Re: RXV Help
Does is it just creep for a bit & then lock up? Cycle the key & it does the same

It will just barely go forward or reverse. sounds like a scrubbing noise like the brake is not fully releasing. I cycled the key still the same results

Re: RXV Help
No, haven't done that. What should it be under a load?

You can also take off the brake. Remove three 10mm bolts. Leave the electrical connector plugged in. To see if it's any different. I have one doing the same thing.... |

Re: RXV Help
Rear wheels up should be no load. (Unless brake is dragging)

Re: RXV Help
Still going to be a voltage drop (or load on the battery) to spin the motor, differential & rims/ tires). But yes good indicator of the brake dragging but does not rule out faulty batteries nor shorts to ground.

Did you see this thread?
http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/elect...-dead-rxv.html per the attachement rxv-e advanced trouble shoot pg. 10 "Crawling: Vehicle runs extremely slow. Slower than limp home. Check motor encoder. See pages 24 - 25" Let me know if you get this far and what your results are on the encoder check |
