Got it fixed (thanks Gene)!<div></div><div>One of the wires to the battery case had broken off at the solder point. I had to strip it back, break out the iron, and reconnect it properly.</div><div></div><div>Now it's back to harassing pigeons in the park!</div>
Thanks Gene ?!?!?!
I thought I posted the " check the battery leads" advice! I don't get no respect, no respect at all.... (Rodney Dangerfield)

Great Job! Actually everyone that offered ideas in fixing his tank including Shenlonco had excellent advice.</span></span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt"><o

So we can all write the correct advice, but new tankers reading this great advice may not understand entirely because he or she may not have the experience with either electronics, wiring, soldering, opening up tanks and so on.</span></span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt"><o

Luckily Setzer529 knew how to solder and was able to fix his tank. Great Job!</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt"></span></span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt"><o
