GreenMech 160 QuadChip no power

Hi Guys

I can’t start my chipper. Closer inspection shows Ive a brown (+v) and a blue (0V) with red terminals that aren’t plugged into anything. They come from the RDS Junction plus Control Box (PL3) and belong to the “power switch “. I can’t for the life of me see where they plug into on the actual chipper! I’ve included 2 photos to assist. Any help greatly appreciated.

BTW, there should be three terminals on the ignition switch , one in the middle and two outer terminals. Connect one wire to the middle terminal and the other wire to one of the outer terminals , it doesn’t matter which wire goes to which terminal..

Jase..

 

Oh yeah , there’s something big coming soon from GreenMech , just in case you haven’t heard the rumour..?

That makes perfect sense. I’m guessing just behind the switch? Is it normal for both terminals to come loose? Many thanks BTW. What’s the rumour?

No it's unusual and hopefully neither has shorted out to earth as that could possibly blow the circuit board..

Rumour , what rumour..? ?

Also is there a decent solution to prevent the terminals coming loose again?

You could just try squashing the red terminals with a pair of pliers to close them up a bit or if you have spare terminals and crimping pliers , replace them ?

Don't let either wire short to earth though..

Jase..
