Any help is apprerciated but cliff note question below.
****Is there a way to sweep test the throttle or any way to ensure properly wired with diff color coding?*****
EDIT for ANSWER - Quite simply with an external power source as suggested by Amberwolf
Test the throttle. Testing a hall-effect throttle requires a 4.3 Volt DC power source and a Voltmeter. Apply 4.3 Volts DC positive to the throttles red wire and 4.3 Volts DC ground to the throttles black wire. Attach a Voltmeter between the black wire and the green or blue wire and twist or push the throttle. The Voltmeter should vary between zero and 3+ Volts. If the throttle has zero or low output Voltage that points towards a bad throttle.

Setup;
Brushed Crystalyte sparrow rear hub motor
Kelly 48100 controller
Luyuan throttle with yellow, red and green wiring and 2 large red to switch. And no led batt. meter on this one (old one had same col's as dia.)
Old throttle is definately dead. New one looks taken off a scooter and not purchased new. I had to lengthen all wires.
Turnigy amp meter (not installed yet but have controller settings very conservative until it runs).
This is how I did my wiring differences being that;
I fused the controller pwr wire #9 (bought 2 and 3 amp fuses but misplaced so I have a 30 in there).
And of course my throttle wiring is different. Bought what I could get quick plan to change to 5V+ style later they look nicer.
Just a fuse and switch cut off at right, no contactor.
I put an LED in just now to see if I could get an error code but nothing.
Which Kelly manual says, I have no power to controller but I can program it and it won't allow that without power.
The hub motor is not the culprit, runs with power direct.
I have 2.5V out of the controller where I should have 5V
and .2V on the other. No changes if I twist the throttle.
I used the big red ones to the switch attached to the throttle as my power to the controller
I don't have a batt. LED meter on the throttle so my yellow wire isn't the same.
I have yellow as ground
red as constant 5V (getting 2.5)
green to blue which is what I want to test to see if I have another bad throttle (looked like a take off part when purchased).
My throttle reponse is 3 and set for 20-90%
I don't know what else to say but it won't freaking run. 2 days I've taken off work this week and I just can't afford another LOL
We have a local e-bike shop and they really don't know anything beyond selling a prebuilt and Bionx systems.
Any recommnedations in Toronto? I want to get my battery looked over once it's all running. (had 55V coming out of it today)
