Hey all, I posted on the Zero Facebook group earlier, thought asking here for more guidance would be a good idea.
I purchased the 2.5 diginows during the Indiegogo campaign and they arrived in time for a 3 day weekend. Woot!
After I removed the mounting bracket for my side bags and the passenger foot peg, removing AC inlet was much easier. Popping the DC inlet Anderson was not too hard. Disconnecting the controller in the middle was easy. 14 screws later the charger was off. Yay. That was Sunday afternoon. I then attached the diginows so I could do a dry run. The bike showed 100% charged and all looked ok. I saw a little sparking/sizzling from the small wire coming out of the fuse area so I left the bike alone until Monday morning. Monday I ran wires and mounted the new pan with the diginows. This went mostly ok. One of the new screws did not go in well and is now stuck 85% inserted. The silver bit it screws into on the bike now spins when I try to tighten or loosen it. So the new pan is not going anywhere.....
But that is a minor concern. The bike no longer keys on and clicks over for riding. The dash does not activate. If I pull the low power B+ fuse and re-insert it I do get a lit up dash. But it eventually fades out like a flashlight with a dead battery. The green go indicator blinks and never settles. The red triangle flashes 2, then 3, then repeats. The manual says this means there is a "Controller Area Network" aka CANbus error.
I have unplugged all of the diginows and that is not changing anything.
What do I do next? I put tape over the plug that went into the middle of the old charger because I did not see anything to plug it into. Beyond that, all of the other cabling was fairly straightforward. What did I miss? Could I have loosened a cable somewhere by accident when pulling the new wires through? If so, where can I look?
