Crown WAV50-118:
Will not stay on.

Hi, whenever I turn the key the unit starts for a split second , I can hear the main contactor click but quickly opens and the unit just beeps. Any hints as to what can cause this.
It also doesn't want to operate in base mode.

I checked the motors with a continuity test and it was fine, but does anyone know what the acceptable ohms should be for these motors?

often the brushes are not seated correctly on new motors
remove motor and check each brush is correctly seated

you read the error code from right to left?
right most led is one,
second from right is 2
third from right is 4
fourth from right is 8
each one doubles
add up all the illuminated leds

if in fact the code is the same and the new motor is good then the controller is the only other component
