Default Problem with Jetronics valve

I just started to prep the Lightning for the weekend, and my retract system fails to sequence. I have dual valves and a sequencer. Turning the receiver switch on and off activates the red led light about half the time. I have the function set correctly, because I can plug a standard servo into the rx and all functions are normal. I have 4 flights on the setup without any issues. Could the sequencer be defective.

Anyone else ever experience this problem???

First take off the retract valve and put in a servo into the sequencer to confirm that the sequencer is functioning correctly, then test the retract valve. We have experienced a number of faulty valves as of late. Two that we received would not switch from one port to the other. Double check this by confirming that the light switches from one side to the other.

It is in fact the sequencer. I just reset everything and when I turned off the receiver and then turned it back on...I lost all settings. I went through the same procedure once more time with the same results.

I am simply going to replace it.

cheers

Ron,
I have seen a few sequencers quit lately as well. If you send it in, I can replace it free of charge for you...
Regards,
Todd
