Hi,

We have power going to the control panel for our WP30 autopilot, but when you push the buttons on the control panel, the autopilot does not respond, nor does it work when it is set. Seem like while power is getting to the control panel, it is not getting to the motor that drives the belt. Has anyone had this issue before and how did you solve it?

Haven't pried it open yet to investigate, but planning to do so soon.

thx

Uhm, when something like that happens, it brings up the old adage: "If something doesn't work electrically, 99% of the time it's the connections."

Good luck.
