Denso Window Motors, Warning - Don't use with Jaguars !

[Gdeaver]

We removed a window motor in the beginning of the season. I disassembled and inspected the motor. there was no visible wear or signs of a mechanical problem. That was before we realized that all window motors were having very random and intermittent lock ups. We can go for hours of practice and not have a lock up. The randomness makes this hard to track down. When I took the window motor apart on Monday night, I did not see any locking pins. I thought that that was just a flexible shaft coupler. Tonight we will install victors and test a new autonomous mode. We are also going to a competition this weekend and should get more data. One thing I noticed and do not want to state as fact is that when the lock happens the jag stayed solid red even when an opposite direction input was applied. I want to consult others before this is stated as true. If so this is a really weird one. If we can resolve this then we can consider the 1st season 4 wheel independent steering and drive swerve system a success.
