[QUOTE="cossie0, post: 55032, member: 180573"] Hi thanks for your replies. I changed out the opto coupler feedback device in the motor and the problem is still the same. I am now convinced the problem lies with the receiver. I cannot believe it could be the motor as it can work one minute and not the next. Thae cable is good quality ribbon cable and is shielded. I removed the motor and connected two short lengths of separate cable and it was still the same so that is not the problem. I connected my multimteter to the teminals for the M pulse and earth and the voltage is okay when it is working fine but the voltage would then suddenly drop to about a third of a volt and the pulse count would then stop. Old satellite could you be more specific in the location of the fault you describe. I could look and change out the decoupling capacitor and resolder the joint thanks Darren [/QUOTE]
