thanks for the replies everyone. Found motor to be good. Gonna put a new controller on and see what happens. Thats the only other thing I think it could be.

I often experience the error LED flash 3.
most of the damage is zero sem, VMN short with neg batt or batt post.
and I fix it myself by replacing the existing components in the control

motor fields can cause this
if you have a second unit run extended wires to motor on another unit

Any luck finding out what caused this code 3? I had one recently that was throwing a code 3. Ohmed out the line contactor and found it to be bad. Replaced it but still throws code 3. Im guessing bad controller. What did you find?

3 Flashes=CAPACITOR CHARGE

Checked at start-up. Alarm is indicated Internal power block failure. Check all
if capacitors are not charged within fuses and wiring. Including the VMN
