Re: Jaguar Issues at the Last Minute

Yes, I was able to discern the tiny (-),(+), and S marks on the PWM port. Black is going to negative, red to positive, and white to signal.

I am now posting from home, our group having decided to just call it a day. After some discussion with the electrical fellas, though, we decided that the prime suspect is the 37-pin connector for various reasons.

1: There is no light display on the digital sidecar to verify that the connector works
2: We are using a light ribbon cable, which is less sturdy than the bulky ones used by computer monitors
3: In addition with the aforementioned reason, the ribbon cable was twisted a lot recently due to the (mistakenly) too small electrical box.
4: It would account for both the Jaguars not working and is less inconsistent than previous reasons (both jaguars broke, both PWM cables were frayed beyond repair, etc.)

On the morrow, we shall spend all day troubleshooting various issues. I thank you all for the help and I'll post the aftermath of this situation.
