Re: Electrical short to DS Chassis
A development...
It wasn't double sided tape after all There was a broken off screw through the firewall and into the Controller. Suspecting DS Tape I was prizing it off with a screwdriver and it let go with a loud BANG as the screw pulled out of the firewall. I totally crapped myself! ... so now with Controller wired but not touching chassis, I now get 11V |

Re: Electrical short to DS Chassis
Firewall = aluminium wall behind battery bay, that the Controller is mounted to. Sorry. Incorrect use of a car word
I was incorrect there. I just disconnected yellow from solenoid and I still have 10.4 V This electrical stuff is terrifying |

Re: Electrical short to DS Chassis
Bloody electrical poltergeist, I think.
I've re-mounted the Controller, but yellow not yet connected to solenoid. Still 10V Disconnected positive lead to solenoid from battery stack- still voltage Disconnected the other three small wires from positive terminals- STILL 7.2V ...but at least it's reducing???.... |

Re: Electrical short to DS Chassis
Morjus, I'm not the best of help in here, but it's after 2 am, and nobody else is in here to help. I was doing the best I could without causing further injury to the cart or to you.
At this point I would NOT hook the controller back up. Unhook the pack and take the controller OUT. |
