Re: CAN Jaguar: could longer CAN cables cause problems?
Codes02:
This seems like a reasonable explanation considering the circumstances. I seem to remember having problems with longer wires beforehand as well. So it sounds like the resistors on both ends have to increase... In this case they are the same types we've used with the small wires, so I think that is the problem. That would cause the erratic behavior. We will try the smaller wires tomorrow or Saturday and report back with results. Thanks for the link, I'm going to print this and add it to the team's reference 
Cecil:
Our mentor Mr. Buchanan custom made some of the cables. Some of the others, I don't know where they came. I'm pretty confident he wired the custom ones correctly but not positive. If our shorter cords don't do it, we'll try looking at the CAN ports as you recommend. I am not sure if all of these Jags have been updated to 107, I will report back with results on Saturday.
Thanks for the responses!
