Hi ESPMs,
I think I damaged one of my hall sensors after changing connectors.
I wanted to change my connectors over to 15 amp PPs so they it would be easier to work with, test or replace in the future.
Everything seemed to go without a hitch and I even tested the new Halls 3 times to make sure all was well.
I had put on some heat shrink around the wires prior to doing the connectors but hadn't gotten around to heating them yet.
I decided to quickly do that right before going to bed (bad idea) using my house mate's lighter. Then I decided to test it out one more time, and that's when it happened. A light click and 1cm of wheel movement.
So, I proceeded to check the connections (the red did come loose and I replaced, despite that, it didn't fix the problem), measure each hall with my multi meter and found out that the blue hall sensor (on the motor side) was dead.
I agonized and changed the connectors twice on it, checked it's continuity and even removed the heat shrink to see if there were any shorts or damage done by the heat but I couldn't see anything wrong.
Is it possible to damage a hall sensor during heat shrink?
This is baffling me because short of opening my hub motor, I can't figure it out.
Please help
Clinton
