All, Thanks. I’m thinking it must be the connections and will double-check those. I could see the heading reading in the upper right corner of the display, so I know there were no issues with the fluxgate. I also don’t think it w the belt as the wheel drive is new and has less than two hours of total use on it — additionally, the motor was not reacting — not like it was whirring and slipping.
OK — back in I go . . . http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-t84cI65qdtE/TaxAHhoNrgI/AAAAAAAABdY/74WdK5ON_Rc/s1600/photo.JPG <http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-t84cI65qdtE/TaxAHhoNrgI/AAAAAAAABdY/74WdK5ON_Rc/s1600/photo.JPG> All the best, Edd Edd M.
