Yes sadly I was driving along and the Cityel started to smoke and cut out ... till it totally cut out and then flames !!

but hopefully it will be save able ... I am confident it is .. just some hard work and take my time ... I hope to have not damaged too much .. I hope ..

Yes, unfortunately I went with you and the Cityel began to smoke and cut out ... until it failed completely and then flamed!



but hopefully it will surely be able to ... i am confident it is ... just a little bit of hard work and take your time ... hope not to have taken too much damage ... i hope .. .

Hi,
Bad news!
I think it looks like the cause is a contact problem on the forward / reverse contactor. Hopefully the Curtis is still ok.

Maybe it was a loose screw at the connection of the main cable and the two fuses

yes sadly a bolt to the + Wire must have been loose as it's covered behind the cover I couldn't see it.. so sadly It caught fire..
I have been though a number of things on the cityel but not been near the curtis end... until now.. but alas too late.. but hey ho...

Ja, leider muss ein Bolzen am + Draht lose gewesen sein, da er hinter der Abdeckung bedeckt ist. Ich konnte ihn nicht sehen. So traurig, dass er Feuer gefangen hat.

Ich war zwar eine Reihe von Dingen auf dem Cityel, aber nicht in der Nähe des Curtis-Endes ... bis jetzt ... aber leider zu spät ... aber hey ho ...

That's really sad.
I hope you made it out without smoke-intoxication!
Glad you were able to extinguish it in time before it all went up in smoke. The damage looks nasty, but I'm sure with enough time and effort you can make it work again.
Keep us posted.

yes it's not good but hopefully it's fixable.. one of the things i am really looking for is this orange plug and then some wires attached to it.. if some one has a broken cityel that is for parts... I could do with this plug and say 20cm -30cm of wire from it.. so I can join it to my wiring as it's all melted at the plug into a big mess..

if any one knows some one who has a broken up Cityel then I am really looking for this plug and wire please..

Ja, es ist nicht gut, aber hoffentlich ist es reparabel. Eines der Dinge, nach denen ich wirklich suche, ist dieser orangefarbene Stecker und dann einige daran befestigte Drähte. Wenn jemand ein kaputtes Cityel hat, das für Teile ist ... könnte ich damit machen diesen Stecker und sagen 20cm -30cm Draht davon .. so kann ich es mit meiner Verkabelung verbinden, da alles am Stecker zu einem großen Durcheinander geschmolzen ist ..



Wenn jemand jemanden kennt, der einen kaputten Cityel hat, dann suche ich wirklich nach diesem Stecker und Draht, bitte.

Hi Mark,
just this plug is veery special and led to lots of problems, so many drivers just soldet the wires together and did cut off this orange plug! I would propose the same way..

I would also sugest getting rid of that round connector plug and upgrade to more secure and waterproof AMP JPT connectors, wich are more common nowadays.

 

[Surfer71]

yes I have heard this a few times and also solder the wires and take the whole plug away.... hmm.. I do get that idea.. I may do that in the future if I have problems but for now I just need to keep it standard as then I can swap parts out incase of problems esp after the fire I do not know 100% what works and what does not.
