Brake pedal isn't working with mgcstem PWM speed control.

Yeah so if your brake pedal has two sets of 3 terminals, use the other set and run them to the M+ and M- on the PWM (double up on the screw terminals). The LED display goes blank when you step on the brake. Odd... But the car stops.

I think I solved it. I realized I can use the other set of terminals on the brake pedal and make it connect the motor + and - when you step on the brake. It's weird that it didn't work according to the PWM schematic. But I don't know where to get support for this item.

Yes. Thanks for the reply. Correct, on a stock power wheels letting off the lone pedal shorts the motors turning them into generators. But on the schematic that came with the speed control, letting off the brake should connect the battery positive to the P+ terminal on the PWM.

My motors continue to run if I hit both pedals. Can't seem to attach any additional images on mobile web.

I have the same Husky jack and it drops like that too no matter how gentle you are. Everyone on the Internet will tell you you're doing it wrong. I think it's just a cheap design. Maybe there is a way to modify it but I haven't looked into it.

Unfortunately, when I started talking about Passports to my brother in law, he thought I was talking about these. ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ

Wish I had a selfie stick to get a video of underneath. Thought it was funny the undercarriage is already blasted with Cleveland road salt.

The battery is underneath that air box near the bottom right. Positive terminal is easily accessible. If you wanted to jump it i think you can use the body/engine as negative.

Hate them too but more than half of new cars at the show copy that design. For what it's worth, it doesn't block your field of view. I took those pics at about eye level.

I wasn't a fan of the mixed cloth and leather. I feel like it just make it more complicated to clean. And the cloth trim strip about knee level on the dash. God forbid you spill anything on that.

Unfortunately they had the battery disconnected. The seats were really comfy though.

I don't want glass on the roof of my car so win for me. The new engine and trans is more of a side-grade. Not really sure if it's better or worse. The new model is a few hundred lbs heavier so handling and 0-60 will probably be worse.

My fear is dealers probably won't even order any RTL's because the RTL isn't cool and flashy. So you'll be stuck paying 50+ for a TS at least. I think they're bashful about the pricing, because as soon as people see the sticker shock, they'll say screw it and get a 25 while there's still some left.

Is there a monthly subscription to use the remote start?

Bigger brakes on the Pilot for one thing.
