Re: Denso Window Motors, Warning - Don't use with Jaguars !
Interesting. We had a similar problem with our swerve drive, as we used 4 window motors for the steering control. However, we noticed that our battery was going down to about 7 volts when the motors started failing, so we figured that was the problem.

Replacing the battery seemed to solve our issues. I've heard that the cRIO disables all motor outputs when it falls below a certain cutoff voltage. Could that be the case here?
