Going to the brain trust on a trouble shooting issue.
I have a dual Dynon Skyview system installed, with both pitch and roll autopilot servos.
Last trip, I got a warning message stating both pitch and roll servos were offline. At home, troubleshooting seemed to narrow the issue down to the connection at the D-sub connecting the aircraft wiring harness to the pitch servo. Spraying it with some cleaner and then securely reconnecting the connections and the complete system was restored.
Until just now. Back to square one, and I know the connectors are firmly in contact with each other.
Where's the likelyhood of finding the issue? The D-sub from the wiring harness? The one attached to the servo? Or, could it be the servo itself?
Apparently, the servos are wired in series (power) and when one goes down, it takes the other with it.
I've trouble shot the power supply, and the switch breaker is good.
What's my best chance of finding the problem?
Thanks!
Edited to add: A vigorous "shake" test of the two tightly attached connectors at this point doesn't get the servos back online...
