Thank you soooooo much. You're right it is the sensor. Where about is the sensor located? I was washing my wheel. I think its wet. Wonder if I use a hair dryer will it work?

We had this same sensor problem on one of Mt. Wilson ride. Remedied by Marty with the KS App. Strange thing about it was that it was within yards from where Jeff and Ray burned up their Mosfets. At the same spot @Coastal Rider found his lost prescription glasses intact from previous ride with Ray when he burned up his Nikola. Go figure Edited December 24, 2019 by Mark Lee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its wet. Wonder if I use a hair dryer will it work? It won’t. The 16X is far from being waterproof, so washing it is a very bad idea. You may also break the headlight, power button, charging connector, speakers, and maybe even the control board.

EUC Custom Power-Pads Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 The sensor is actually mounted in a place where the water running down the top of the trolley pole cannot easy reach it. I could imagine that the trolley handle doesn't go back completely, because the water and dirt (which was already inside the housing) has turned to mud that now blocks the way down. Between the housing and the metal plate that operates the switch (green arrow) is not much space and if there is some dirt, the trolley handle does not go back completely.

Isn’t the tube open for the switch operating metal plate to move freely? That would direct any incoming water almost directly at the sensor. And since the 16X isn’t really waterproofed from any direction, ”washing” the wheel may get water in from numerous places. The handle doesn’t have to reach the bottom position to disengage the switch, as it operates at all extension levels. It’s the weight of the wheel against the handle that operates the switch, not the level of extension. Worthy points about dirt though, and it sure can block the sensoring system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
