      .....AND I'M BACK   10:00 PM: The new batteries arrived, and I installed them with the optimism that god still doesn't hate me and this chair might simply work.   The joystick lit up. No error codes. Excellent. I moved the joystick, and the motor clicked. Just clicked.  $400 metronome. Four hours of systematically removing and testing EVERY SINGLE COMPONENT on the chair. I suspected the charger lockout, so I disconnected the charging system. That locked the controller in charging mode, because of course it did. I then jumped the controller pins to convince it that the charger was connected but not charging. The motor still clicked. Electric brakes? Tested. Not the problem. Wiring? Tested. Continuity? Tested. Controller? Tested. I really must have done some bad stuff in another life because bad Karma is the only excuse I can think of. Eventually, I found roughly 100 ohms across the right motor. I still have one inaccessible brush left to inspect, so there remains a tiny possibility that it is simply stuck or dirty. I’m saving that for tomorrow, when disappointment will feel new and fresh again. The good news is that I am now so thoroughly versed in Pride Jet 3 troubleshooting that I could probably sit for the factory technician exam. I broke out the voltmeter, checked continuity, isolated components, bypassed safety circuits, and learned far more about this chair than Pride Mobility ever intended a civilian to know.  I'm just missing the tool to program the controller limits. The bad news is that it probably needs a new right motor. Still, a replacement motor is cheaper than the used powerchairs people are selling locally, and I now know that everything else on the chair works. So technically, this was progress. Since I have removed every single component and am quite intimate with them, I may just migrate it all to a new base and quit fighting Chaz.   BTW....Between bouts of curse-laden rants, I realized Dalek 13 was one of the survivors of the crashed Dalek factory ship in the original episodes, and I also remembered Rutger Hauer's "Tears in Rain" monologue from Blade Runner, but neither is related.   So, Dalek 13 is out; he served me well for one con.  All innards have been changed.  He now has a DVM8 and a proper powerchair drivetrain.  His name is now Dalek Chaz,  Social Media Manager of Skaros, and he went to Arizona State University.  He's a frat bro now, which may justify a '90s turquoise paint scheme.  To be honest, I just thought a cliché college douchebag as a Dalek would be kinda funny.      Time to take drugs, get some O2 and go to bed....

      I've decided just to go with MDF after dropping into B&Q and realising MDF is 1/3 the price of ply😵! I foresee a few "do overs" in my future so I think I'll use the cheaper option for now, besides iits bad enough being full of fibreglass splinters never mind topping them up with plywood self's aswell!!
