Re: Window Motors Becoming Hot/Warm
We had black jaguars for our arm, and it would cause the arm to lock up. It wouldn't come out of the lock unless we put full power into the window motors which sent it slamming down or flying up. During and after the lock ups, the motors would get VERYVERYVERY HOT. After some research we switched to victors, and they worked better but for some reason when we would bring the arm down it would keep going when the joystick wasn't being touched. Putting the victors in break mode fixed this. Now the worst that happens, the motors might get warm after running them for awhile. We were driving around using the arm for a good half hour and didn't have a problem
We were running 2 window motors to power it
Hope this helps!
