Alex and I spent the pre-100 morning checking the circuits in the RAVolt to isolate the drive system failure. We confirmed it was not the traction voltage, aux voltage, motor continuity, key lockout or pot box. Sadly, that only left the Curtis 1231C controller. We removed it and I’ll send it out to be remanufactured.
In the process, I did manage to fry one of my contactors. Note to self: do not create a short between the battery and the motor - the contactors cannot handle the arc. On the positive side, I’m certain Alex will never forget today’s efforts together.
