Just a thought:
Last year my original control box started acting flakey during a drive.
After some investigation, I learned that the grounds for the two shunt coil=
s
(one per relay) weren't making good contact.=C2=A0 The wire is soldered to =
a
brass sleeve that slips over the bolt through the center of the coil.=C2=A0=
But
if the sleeve doesn't make good electrical contact to the bolt, the
associated function won't work right.=C2=A0=20
For the cutout, that means not pulling in as it should (red light stays on)=
.
For the regulator, that means the current and/or voltage can go very high.
Might be your friend's problem.
I added a ground wire to ensure a good connection, but likely just cleaning
up the sleeve and reassembling would work for a long time.
I also checked several control boxes from the junk bin, and most of them ha=
d
the same problem.
