Re: Victor Help

Something that I've seen a lot is when a PWM cable is inserted wrong (either into a Jaguar or a Victor) and doesn't make good contact, when you pull it out you will see one or two pins pushed in farther than the others. So then, without fixing this and trying to just re-insert it, even if it is aligned correctly one of those pins might not make contact. When this happens I like to remove the connection on both sides of the PWM cable (to prevent short-circuits) and pull out the bad pins carefully with a small needle nose pliers. Re-insert both sides and see if this fixes the problem. If it does, hot glue it and you won't have to mess with that one again.
