I did it...
I connected the battery terminals the wrong way. -Ve to +Ve and vice versa.
I remember noting down the battery terminal ends before putting them into the C5. But after I lifted the battery, the ends magically switched places!
Now I know the importance of Karl's C5 wiring kit Luckily, I never switched the ignition on (Misplaced the keys inside the house and hence had to go back and fetch it); But in the meantime my brother pedalled it around without the keys.
There was a faint smoky smell. Not sure if that was from the wrong wiring on C5 'cos the smell did linger even after I was pretty far away from the C5.
Question is how could the wiring work without the ignition being on?
I saw the mistake and rewired it. But the
POD wont turn on and neither does the motor! The head & tail lights work. The motor works when connected directly to the battery.
I opened the lid on the control box (But couldn't open the entire control box. one half is sealed. How can I open it?). But of what I saw couldn't find anything burnt or smoked.
Any troubleshooting tips?
