Go to Post It's not easy dealing with the reality that others aren't as passionate as we are and that the process may be slower than we want it to be - but it gives me plenty of time to think and prepare. - JaneYoung [more]

Re: Bad PWM cables?

In your Kit there was a bag that was donated by REV, with 8 brand new PWM cables. These are 22awg, which is on the thicker side of things as normally you see 24 or even 26 awg cables of this size. I would recommend using these first, before you try old ones as each one of these is tested at our factory before we put them in the Kit of Parts.


If you find that any of the new ones are bad, send me a PM and I will personally send you some new ones.

I will also second what others said about it being the motor controller itself, the old Victors are difficult to get the wire in AND tell if it is all the way seated in the connector. (this is one of the reasons we went a different direction with our cable retention on the SPARK).
