Re: Bad Pwm cables

This has been the case for several years. It comes with practice but the PWM connector does not always seat all the way into the speed controller. If you take a look at a working controller and compare it to one with a suspected bad cable you will see the difference, about 1/8" less engagement on the bad one.
