Re: Victor 888 Motor controller problem.

First, I've heard tell of the LEDs not always being a 100% indication of sidecar power. I'd check with a multimeter to make sure you have 12V at the sidecar power connector. Or plug in a robot signal light. Those never work without 12V to the sidecar.

If that doesn't solve things, lets start working our way to even sillier questions:
1. Do you have the correct PWM orientation on the Victor? Black wire should be closest to the fan.
2. Do you have the correct PWM orientation on the sidecar? Black wire should be to the outside of the sidecar.
