Re: Testing an FSIP controller
Perhaps it was on the limit of failure and finally decided to go. Electronics tend to fail because of heat cycling. over and over and over for years and finally some solder joint or component has developed a weak spot.
Think of it like a race car engine. You CAN run it to 9,000 rpm all day long. But then after a few years of doing that you decide to run it to 9,100 rpm... Like Nole said, Are you SURE the solenoid/contactor is passing current to the controller? Can you temporarily bypass the solenoid to see if it works? |

Re: Testing an FSIP controller
If everything points to the controller, and if you or someone you know has the ability, mosfets for that thing are probably about $1.50 each.

Re: Testing an FSIP controller
I'm going to test the solenoid one more time but IIRC it's not reading like Nole described.
What's the easiest way to bypass it to check? |

Re: Testing an FSIP controller
What terminals are you getting 11 volts on ? Negative on the pack and positive on the two main lugs should read the same when the pedal is pushed.

Re: Testing an FSIP controller
No, a lead on each large lug of the solenoid.

Re: Testing an FSIP controller
Not sure if I would test that way but if it is dropping to zero I would think the solenoid is good.
