Cutouts Update from Gathering-False Alarm - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

WARP TEN · 05-20-2015

A number of members expressed interested in duplicating my cutouts setup and I had to tell them that one of the electric motors appeared to have failed so I drove home with one open. Thought it was a failed motor as that did happen once, repaired under warranty. Those interested said they wanted follow up on the diagnosis so here it is: Turned out to be a false alarm. After taking the open one off I bench-tested it and it operated normally. Conclusion: the small power connector plug near one motor must have come apart so one didn't work. Put them back on and connected the plugs and they seem fine now. From now on I will check the plugs first if one stops. If there are any other issues I will post it on the forum, but I still like the set up a lot.--Bob
