Thanks again everyone for your feed back; am getting to my end of ideas, so all appreciated. Hi Brendan 1. yes the motor rotate freely without any power to them.
2. I can get the Dec motor to rev at a high speed, but only for a short time, about 1 second. I change the motors over and always get the same out of the Dec outlet, so to me it isn't motor or lead related. The RA motor will not speed up, goes slow for a short period then the device beeps and says motor stalled or motor lag.
3. When there is power to the motors the Dec motor locks (I cannot turn it by fingers) and the RA motor is easy to turn. I have changed the motors over and still the same; always the Dec outlet to motor locks and the outlet from the RA to motor is easy to turn.
On opening the controller there is no sign of heat being anywhere. As my mount is in a observatory I have not moved the cables at all until last night to see if it was motor related or the console. I am sure it is the console.
