04 pitbull to ridgeback build

[Rottweiler]

Not sure if anyone else has had issues with the reed switch connection not staying connected but this is what I did to ensure it doesn’t come off. I used a small piece of heatshrink and slid it over the connector. I carefully , I mean carefully heated up the heat shrink not to put too much heat on the board. I think that should hold ? Anyone else has issues with this ?

Not with that so far. But I have used Heat shrink on other jst plugs.

Mine kept coming off the connector which is why I used the heat shrink. It is holding nicely

Well I got both front turn signals to work and the right control to work. Now I have running lights on the rear but the turn signals are not working . I checked the wires and they appear to be in correctly . This shits crazy

Got it figured out ! Because I had to take the jst connector apart originally my wires were off, after reviewing my notes I changed them around and sure enough everything is working.
Love the esc but the wire colors do not match stock and I don’t see anywhere on the schematics where it explains what the esc wire colors mean. It wouldn’t have been an issue if i was only plugging it in to the stock and that’s on me for messing up the wiring

yea, they don't all match stock wiring. Gotta take your time and double check wiring!
