Hello, this is about an old TE - Gator (Electro-Hydro) that I inherited in a non-working condition and I don't understand exactly why. So far, troubleshooting has shown the following:
Everything that works:
We put in new batteries. They can be charged normally via the charger and the charge indicator on the dashboard shows this correctly.
1. Question: IS THIS DISPLAY CONTROLLED BY THE CENTRAL CURTIS CONTROLLER AND SO DOES IT PROVE THAT THE CURTIS CONTROLLER IS BASICALLY WORKING? The Curtis Controller is the central control unit for the entire vehicle and shows error codes by flashing lamps.
The hydraulics for moving the loading area up and down works and the lights can also be switched on.
When you turn the key, current is passed on as it should.
Things that DO NOT WORK:
When you step on the accelerator, the relevant micro-controller (see photos) no longer seems to be functional. The electricity goes in, but does not come out on the other side.
2. Question: Should this actually be indicated by the central Curtis controller with a flashing light as an error code, or does it mean that the Curtis controller is also broken because it does not react with a flashing error code?
3rd question: Does anyone have to sell a (used) Curtis controller at a reasonable price?
4th question: Does someone have to hand over a (used) micro-controller for the accelerator pedal from an old vehicle by chance. This part is called THROTTLE POTENTIOMETER (see photos)
If anyone here happens to be able to help with ideas for further troubleshooting and repairing my old Gator (bought around 2002 in France), that would be really great ....
