Hi all, I just accidentaly connected my GM Sport forward/brake ESC backwards with my corraly plugs and fried my speedo (I think). I have no throtel coming out of the esc but still get steering and the little red light still comes on at full throtel, full brake and neutral. Does any have any suggestions to get my power back to the motor? I didn't actually connect it backwards, just held it there until I noticed it was wrong. (But it was long enough for the plugs to get quite warm) I've onpend the case and cennot find any burnt things or marks and it doesnt smell at all. I have been through the manual about 100000000 times and have done everything it says but nothing will work. Would only the first fet inline 9from where the wires enter the case) have blown, or would have all of them been fried? How much are these fets to replace? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

If you are getting a red light you might just need to re program it. If not sorry you will have problems getting that fixed. Gm no longer deals in the U.S. (i dont think) :(

that sounds like it needs servicing, but you may be in luck, i think that Horizon decided to distribute for GM recently...... :)
