Re: Faulty PWM?

Many teams have encountered similar problems this year. The PWM cables need to be fully seated in the sockets. The large shoulder on the PWM socket makes this difficult to see but you need to take the time to get it in right. It is also possible to misalign one or more of the pins as you insert the connector and they miss the intended target. When in doubt compare the height of the connetor body to another controller to make sure you are fully inserted.
