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.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
