Title: Motor will not stop

Ahh yes. This one.

OK, it's one or more solenoids sticking or in the switch/wiring.

Why would the soleniods stick?

CONT...

very simple, this one is all about the grounds....

A lot of peeps do NOT UNDERSTAND that the solenoids need sufficient grounding to work effeciently.

Although sometimes it can be mechanical, thats not usually the case.  In most of our systems and recommended we use 3 solenoids regardless of how many batteries we run.  Now if one is sticking closed you wont have a problem other than the other two are taking more load, if you have two sticking closed the same effect.  BUT IT'S WHEN ALL THREE ARE STUCK CLOSED your motors are no longer switched and have constant power feeding them, this in turn activated your system until you manually DISCONNECT the POWER.  This is why we have QUICK DISCONNECT GROUNDS!!!!!

Hopefully you have a FREIND HOLDING YOUR DUMP SWITCHES OPEN until you can get to the grounds....  OR  you purchase a PRESSURE RELEIF VALVE...  ( a good investment for street cars)
