This is correct. I'd like to add that the situation I've seen with the Jaguar fully on but disabled was not a permanent fault (at least not one where it happened and the unit never recovered...I still have the unit and it still works...don't know if it's entirely uninjured but it can drive a CIM).

The other mentor had a specific process to inducing this failure. He indicated to me that he had forwarded his findings to FIRST and was distressed they did not apparently respond to it.

I've never been able to replicate the fault beyond a very small number of late night sessions where I was hot on the trail of an unrelated issue.
