    Ultrex Problem - Need Advice

    My tournament Partner has an Ultrex 80/45 I Pilot, non link. It is about 2 years old.
    I was not there but he told me that Last Saturday, the foot Pedal locked up (his term). He said it was like the cables were bound up. Could not move it either way but he was able to use the remote. Later in the day, it started working again.
    His pedal is not in a recessed tray so it was easy to check for obstructions. He even took it loose from the deck and turned it over to check for obstruction underneath.
    I can get a serial number if needed.
    All help appreciated.

    I try to drive as if my 16 year old Grandson is following me

    Mine did that in month 3. MK sent a new one. Not fixable - at least back then or they wanted it back to assess. Your buddy needs to call MK.

    Needs to go to an ASC for waranty repairs, most likely a steering pedal sensor
    Thank You Leon Pugh

    It needs to be brought to an ASC to get it looked at. Sounds like the Sensor board in the Foot pedal is out.

    Will it still work with the remote. If so, it has a bad sensor board in the footpedal. If not, then could be control board, steering sensor board, wire harness from board to steering module, steering module. Should go to ASC for diagnosis and repair.
