Re: Jaguar exploded resistor???
This happened to us today. I wired up a Jaguar for CIM that runs our conveyor system. I heard a small pop and smelled burning electronics..... never a good sign.

So we tested it on one of our drive CIMs just to make sure it was dead, and the results came back positive, so we switched in our last Jaguar, but it has been running fine so far. I had heard of other Jaguars burning out before too, so I wasn't THAT surprised.

Re: Jaguar exploded resistor???
We have had 4 jaguars go out on us....and where we are located express shipping is inpractical so we had to make a roadtrip 100 miles to get new ones in time to test everything before shipping

Please contact us if these four Jaguars are different from the Jaguars you mentioned were wired improperly... http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...highlight=jags

If wired improperly, the units will almost certainly "go out on you".

Regards,
Scott
