I should see it some time early next week I guess.

Now I need to find some new 3/8ths cable lugs for my 2ga cable to replace the ends to prepare for the reversing contactor install. Just went through the install instructions that look pretty straight forward so I will make my 12ga wires required and get the lugs ready to replace.

That is good news.

FWIW: I just drilled out the holes in the cable lugs with a 3/8" bit when I installed my Super-Duty Solenoid.

As recently posted, be careful when drilling copper. The bit tends to dig in faster than steel, then grip and try and spin it.

Step or shoulder bits tend to be less gripy.

Lost its program, huh?
Controller Amnesia !?

I wonder when that happened and what made it do it?

Too much liquor?

I was wondering the same thing Scotty, it seemed to have a problem from the first day I messed with it. Will see how it reacts when I get it back from them.

The lugs are already drilled and held them with the corner of my vice.

I had to make a conscious effort to take my 42V/245AH pack down to 80% when I was breaking them in.

Headlights/stereo/etc. will also do the trick, but if the "new" controller's on the way, there's no better way than driving.
