Magic Pie 3, throttle not working anymore, need help
« on: May 14, 2012, 06:52:20 AM »
Hi all,

I have purchased a MP3 and installed it onto my bike. It worked great!
However, when I was installing a LED light (with the battery still on), I short-circuited the black and red wire (for LED connection). Ever since, my throttle is dead no matter what I do. Did I destroy my controller? Is there anything that I can do to fix it?

I need help desperately.

Hi andto the forum.

I suggest you try unplugging the throttle connector and check the voltage at the +5V feed connection as described in this post.

If you're very lucky, it might be just the throttle control that has been damaged by shorting the wires, rather than the main wiring harness or controller.

I changed the controller, still no luck  :-[

After talking to Devi-motion (official Goldenmotor dealer in the Netherlands) I have decided to send to the motor to them for repairs.
