No it was not the VIC's themselves. We thought metal filings were getting into them and frying them, but when the two replacement VIC's we put in blew as well, we discovered that two of the four drive motors both had a shorting problem, which caused a surge, which was why the VIC's sparked. unfortunatly it was too late to swap motors, so we had two CIMs per side but only one was powered.
