I had a Cycle Analyst go bad on my bike. One day walked up to it, tried to turn the bike on, nothing. Dead screen. No smoke, or anything.
Took all accessories out, and hooked up the backup. #2. Blinked on fine, was happy. Took a ride. was fine.... began hooking up the accessories. All went well until I got to the last... the Tq sensor.
Whithin 3 min of hooking up the Tq sensor the new CA3 blinkenlighted OOT. This one let out a whisp of smoke right after the display got really bright.
Burned the diode in both, right after, the incoming power on the CA3board. I suspect a faulty Torque sensing bottom bracket is at fault. Its been through alot. Bike has had a rough beat up life so far... in a year of 3000 miles of fun and recreation.
So now I have #3 in hand. What can I do to make sure there isnt a fault in my harness or one of the sub systems? I suspect the TS, but it really might be a myriad of things.. I had it all on the accessories. The knobs, the bells, and the whistles.
Now I am afraid to plug anythng in cause I dont have another 115$ to spring.
Any quick tips, tricks, or hints on troubleshooting this issue ( immediate power draw on CA3 overpowering its internal regulators and causing damage)? From you electrical pros? Before.. well, you know?
Thanks in advance. Many, many, many thanks.
I got a new Tq sensor too. Might try install that. Think I may have to... I like the PAS.
