Re: Faulty PWM?

When in doubt compare the height of the connetor body to another controller to make sure you are fully inserted.
Yes, we have had these problems this year. I never remember having problems like this in past years, but we have had this problem on 5 different occasions this year. I wonder what's different about this year - did IFI switch to a different supplier?
