Rjapcok, that is really good info on the 3/8 drive. It will help immensely today when I test the torque shaft. I have been hesitant to stick my fingers inside the housing while running a motor, I like my fingers and don't want to lose any of them. By using a ratchet I can slowly turn the coupler to see if it turns the torque shaft.
Jlawless2, yup know that trick, unfortunately no room for my cell phone. I dug out my old gopro and charged some batteries so I could attempt to take a decent picture of the torque shaft head. Another good cell phone trick is to turn the flash light on in dimly lighted restaurants. I tried using my wife's tooth mirror but it was too small.
MidwestCamper, the motor that's in there now is new. I tested it while it was outside the housing and everything moved for the brief 2 seconds DW applied power to it. I have watched that before. The 16:35 portion was a really good shot of the top of the torque shaft. It is my suspicion that the white thing on top of the torque shaft is broken. I will attempt to get a clear shot of it today while doing the ratchet test.
I think one of the fun side effects is that the motor spins but the slide does not move. The controller senses the motor operating and probably considers the motors synchronized, so no error codes. No error codes, no need to put the controller into manual mode.
