RooTxBeeR Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) So I had set the gains on my buddies m4 2 weeks ago. Go to reset last week and my wires ripped out of the harness so I resolderd them. Now when I go to set the gain it's no where near were it was before. The main thing I noticed now, the gain light will flash now, and as you turn the gain up the flashing gets faster until solid. Brand new battery. Could the harness arcing have caused internal damage?

OrionStang Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Get a new harness. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROLEXrifleman Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Strands in the plastic insulator may have ripped or near the boot portion close to the probe. I'm assuming you soldered at the male rca end, check for Col solders or shorted wire. Worst case scenario you broke a solder joint inside the dd-1 at the female rca. How hard was the yank?

ROLEXrifleman Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Ya post the pic. I think you might be over complicating this! Harness arching? The harness doesn't send out voltage, it reads it. Thus it can't arch.im 98% sure if that, I'm not a certified electrician but I am a professional Puerto Rican Quote Rolex you sicken me.

This is the on variable to change between tuning 2 weeks ago and tuning last night. And the way it worked last, I've never seen before.

reedal Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Try buying a new harness. A bad solder could be causing voltage drop causing you to turn the gain higher.
