Problem: Right Motor, Faulty Field Drive (18) You have a problem in the right drive motor field circuit. I would check all of the drive motor to H bridge wiring. The problem could be in the drive motor, wiring from the logic to the H bridge, logic or H bridge. My past experience has usually been a failed H bridge if the wiring and motor checks out. The H bridge is located under the logic card and drive board.

Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
