Re: jaguar motor brown and black

If it's a solid red light, the ONLY problem possible is the motors are not connected or stalling (or similar things AFTER the jaguar). A red light means that the white M+ screw is connected to ground and the green M- screw is connected to 12V. Note that if you connected the CIM's red wire to M+, the motor will be spinning backwards from what happens when you connect the red wire to 12V. Check that.

NOTE: I may be wrong if the firmware isn't up-to-date or something like that, I only know the codes for use in normal operation. It shouldn't change though, as far as I know. But check your wiring and try wiring up a freespinning motor.
