Re: locking pins on the window motors
We haven't used automotive motors for several years. Many automotive motors also have PTC overload protection in them. We found that using these motors in positioning applications with speed controllers that had a high PWM frequency caused self heating and problems. Did not have problems when used with lower PWM frequency victors. We have no experience with talons and PTC's. The problem was with the Jags.
