Go to Post FIRST is the best thing I could have ever done. It shows me where I think my limits are, and it destroys them right in front of my eyes. My experiences with FIRST have defined who I am, and I am beyond blessed to have had them. - Audrey Chu [more]

Re: Red Blinking Light on Jaguar

We had the same problem with one of our gray jags, and someone else on CD has it also. We ended up just declaring it dead (maybe use it sometime for a unidirectional motor).

Oh yeah, ours started smelling bad after a while of running it backwards.

Sounds like you got some metal shards in there.

Re: Red Blinking Light on Jaguar

Well to my knowledge red flashing is either slow reverse or an overworked motor. I found that out the hard way. It might be the limit switch or check the motor to see if it is not jamming and any point.

Re: Red Blinking Light on Jaguar

Morton,
It is possible that you have mechanical issue. It runs fine in one direction and then binds in the other. Are you driving one of the window motors with this controller? The window motors have locking pins that could prevent movement, particularly if you are driving two motors on a common shaft.
