Have a 24v 80lb Minn Kota I Pilot.
Recently the motor pegged to high speed while using it and wouldn't respond to any controls. I ordered a new control board and swapped it out. I now have the motor operating but don't get any response from the steering controls. Not sure if I had a faulty replacement control board or if something is causing issue and has possibly shorted out my new control boards steering?
When I test the control board with my multi-meter I am not getting any voltage from the control board steering leads.
When I apply 24v directly to the motor side steering leads, the motor turns fine (both directions)
I tested amperage on the steering leads and it shows its pulling .26 and .23 amps depending on direction ( i know it shouldn't exceed 1.5 amps). Does this reading seem normal or am I possibly measuring amps wrong
