Re: Interesting Jaguar Death
What happens if you remove the load from the Jaguar?

If you have access to a oscilloscope, if not try a multimeter and put one lead on the 12V input, do you see anything abnormal?

Verify that the PWM cable works and is plugged in properly.


I recall an issue slightly similar to this on a tan jaguar while using CAN. What would happen was the jaguar would turn on and would flash yellow once and turn off for around 2 seconds then flash again. If I tried to drive it at all the status light would stay off indefinitely. I reflashed the firmware but the issue remained. I reflashed the bootloader ad the firmware (through JTAG in the back) and it worked fine after that. I have a full firmware dump on my other computer somewhere.
