Cougar controller

Hi Paul,
The loose wire was on the throttle pot, and yes for a while I had the ground connected to the vehicle ground and not the high voltage ground, but never took it for a ride like that, although I did run the motor in neutral to see if the throttle controller was working. All the gate resistors are open but no physical damage to look at. They look fine, test dud. There was also no chance that moisture got in. Diodes all test out OK. Removed one cap and it tests out ok too so I presume that the others will be ok as well. As I mentioned before all was working 100 percent until I tried to run it on 120 volts. I did use heavy jumper cables to connect up the second bank of batteries because they are mounted behind the seats in the cab. The cables are in good condition. Sorry that some of the pics are fuzzy.
Thanks again,
Doug.
