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 . . .
