Minn Kota Powerdrive Help Needed

[thill]

I just picked up a used Minn Kota Powerdrive, and the turn motor does not seem to work.

Does anyone have a diagram of the flat foot pedal plug, so I can jump the pins manually to test things out? Also, the same diagram would help me test the pedal.

Thanks!

I don't know if you will be able to read this or not but I'll try.

There isn't any electronics in a foot pedal. Just some membrane switches on a PC board. Those who feel they have to stomp on the pedal tend to rupture the membranes and then they also leave the pedals exposed to weather so the connections corrode and the pedal is now junk. You can replace the control board but it is likely about the same cost as a new pedal.
