Hello,
Sorry its been a while. My school blocked the forum and said it was classified as social-media. Any way, I been having a bit of trouble with it. Whenever it goes to side st. red it sparks and blows the circut. I tried cleaning it out of dust and debris from the basement and cimpletly un-hooking the side st. signals. I plan on trying to upload pictures tomarrow. Is there anyone that lok at it near Milford, NJ. Im not very fimilar with controllers and need a bit of help. Oh, it is an Eagle EF-20
Thank you,
Carl Livingston

Faulty wire perhaps? Is the wire connected in its terminal correctly?

EF-20; right up my alley. First step (lifting field wires) is done. You might pull the jones plug from the controller and eye ball the pins on the controller and the sockets on the plug for any signs of arcing or carbon tracking. Check in the controller to be sure nothing is shorting the top of the jones plug. A short is going to be hard to find because it will be behind the cabinet panel or on the back side of the controller.
Two screws hold the controller guts in. Remove them and lift the guts from the case to eyeball the backside for a wire that may rubbing on the case. A stupid thing may be that a screw rolling around back there shorting things out.
One thing I've seen on the back panel is that the screws through the panel will pop the head off the back side and the wire terminal could short.
Photos will help.
