Electrical motor problem
« on: 09, August, 2013 - 17:57:25 »
Hi

Just bought a C5 and trying to get my head round things ! Managed to put a new battery on it and drive belt and she flew down the road. Motor now wont go after 2nd trip I press the switch and there is a very feint whirring sound from relay could it be that that needs replacing if so where would I get one from and how do I remove it ? Also in my box theres a spade connector with X5 written above it apparently for a brown wire but mines not got one am I missing something ?

Hi there the first thing you need to do is to check out the motor direct to the Battery .Disconect the motor from the control box and connect wires to the battery and let us know what happens ..Chas
