HELP!!!! .....Intermitant RLTC ......

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Can anyone help?? To set the scene, had RLTC fitted a couple of months back, adjusted by Phil Wall with the 'correct' settings and all was perfect. However, last week I got in it, fired her up and turned off the standard TC, as usual. But then, while booting off a r/about several minutes later I lost the back end in a MAJOR way and nearly poo'ed my pants!!!

 

After getting my breath back and re-adjusting my trousers, I noticed that when I turned the RLTC switch to the OFF position, the red light did not come on ..... hence no power to the system. I then retrieved the green diode from behind the carpet, but that was still flashing away merrily with the revs.

 

So, for the last week I've left the RLTC in the off position and kept checking it and have discovered that the red light is intermitant. In other words I'm now buggered!!

 

So, to my questions :-

1. Has anyone experinced this sort of thing before?

2. Could this be just a grounding issue? I've seen a few comments before on various different way people have connected the RLTC system to ground.

3. Any ideas?

 

Your frustratingly ........ Darren

 

Cheers:(

 

(Just read this again and wanted to make absolutely sure that no-one gets the impression that I'm suggesting Phil Wall's assistance is in anyway to blame for this, I just took the opportunity to clarify that the system was running 'spot on' before things went wrong!!)

Glad to hear your pants were all that sustained damage.

 

Sounds like a dodgy connection, as you said check your earths, and check all your other connections.

 

You may have improved the conection while you were finding the green light.

 

Check everything while watching that red light.

 

Who fitted it?

Hi,

 

It was fitted by the usual Electrician so I'm surprised there's a problem. I'll take the carpet back and try all the connections. I'll get him to open up the control box to make sure all is well in there too.

 

Patience will be a virtue on this one I feel!!

 

Cheers

Could be a connection issue between the control unit and the main unit. If i remember rightly some soldering(or crimping) is required here.
