Hello, I'm really hoping someone here can help me.
I have a Polarna M6 folding ebike that I bought online about 2 or so months ago. I started getting a "error code 21 over current protection" message on my display and the motor shutting off any time i accelerated by peddle or throttle. I contacted the company and they sent me a new controller. I tried connecting the new controller by going one cable at a time from the old controller to the new one, but I ran in to a few issues and now I'm not sure what to do. I contacted the company again, but it's a Chinese company and there's a little bit of a language barrier, plus they just haven't even responded at all to my last email. So I'm really hoping someone here can help me because there are no ebike shops in my town and the bike doesn't fit in my car anyway.
Ok so, here's what I'm dealing with you guys....
1. Where does this cable plug into? What is this cable for?
2. The cable from the bike has 6 wires, but the white wire has its own separate plug. So the cable from the bike has a 5 hole plug, but the plug from the controller has 6 pins. Can I still connect these two plugs together? I mean it does fit together with one pin being unused, but is it ok to do this? What do I do with the white wire plug? What is the white wire for? Is it not needed?
3. These wires would not release from the connectors. I think there were some kind of connectors on the end of these wires, but I had to pull the wires so hard with pliers to release them that I believe it stripped the connectors off and left them inside the little barrel looking connectors which can be seen hanging loose and unconnected at the bottom. What do I do now? Do I just cut the ends off all the wires and then twist them together and wrap them in electrical tape? Will that be good enough? Or should I replace the connectors? And if so, can someone tell me what they're called or send me a link of where to buy more?
4. These two plugs have nowhere to be plugged in to. Where do they go? What do they do? Are they important?
Am I just a dumbass you guys? I have zero experience with this stuff. Is this ready to go after i twist the green/blue/yellow wires together? I'm afraid of turning it on and ruining something because I've connected things wrong. Any help you guys can offer would be greatly appreciated, I'm so eager to get my bike back on the road!
