[QUOTE=gtmo-gem;14627]For the constant beeping, I’ve seen this symptom on mine when I get the e-brake electrical switch (under seat, front center-ish) wet while washing the batteries. The switch dries out naturally ~eventually~ and the beeping stops, but now, before I wash the batteries, I aways cover that e-brake switch with a plastic baggie. Another solution that worked to stop the beeping was to liberally spray that switch with a water-excluder, e.g. WD40. For the no-go, my only suggestion/guess is that it’s related to the e-brake switch; ensure the 2 wires wires to the e-brake switch are correctly connected and that the e-brake switch itself is actually correctly functioning. Let us know what your actual solutions turn out to be.[/QUOTE] thanks for the info… TWO people who both sale/rebuild controllers tell me I have a bad one… I will try this before speding $550… IT wont move eihter?? ---
