////red green green red
idle: on on off on
<3k: off on off off (i.e. plant my foot)
3k : on on off off
4.3k: on on off on
Hmmm, would appear to have issues with both motors??? reds work as they should but have one motor with the green light always on and the other always off.
Any advise? Cheers. |
Yer sounds as if you have faults with both motors, Id suggest you have a read through this thread may give you some guidance of how to go about fixing them

From that it reads as if the balance motor is stuck closed and the power motor is stuck open.
These VIS indicators are fantastic bits of kit.

Sounds like that's the power motor you had off. Balance motor is the harder one to get to, on the side of the plenum.

Warm the unit with a hair dryer to soften up the seal, prise the lugs round the casing gently and prise up all round, it will come just go easy at it
