[QUOTE="Huevos, post: 757063, member: 301161"] Is it optical or reed switch? It is pretty easy to test which part is faulty. Just send 36v (even 12V would do) up to the motor and use a continuity tester or multimeter to see if there is a pulse on the sensor cables as the motor is driven. If there is the V-box is broken, if not the sensor is broken. Last time I had the symptoms you describe it was the V-box. The power supply in the V-box is always active and as there is no fan to keep things cool so eventually it just cooks itself. [/QUOTE]
