What were you messing with before it stopped? Power wire going into turret doesn't have juice. The Gun and Barrel elevation are activated by switching ground on and off. If both are out it probably the power wire. Check it and let us know.

on the inside of the tank, near the turret screwed to the roof of the tank their will be a small peice of what looks like circuit board (really only a connector board), if any of the wires have come off that its your problem, it happens alot to me when i repeatedly remove the upper hull. if your not too good with a soldering iron you can pull the other wires off and replace with a 3 long terminal block. it seems however that you have 2 functions gone, so dont just solder or screw them back on or in, test them forst by pressing the exposed wire against the connections, dont touch it though, dont want anybody getting hurt on my back. press the elevation and fire commands to check.

thanks, hope this helps,

Matt

My pantiger came new this way turned out to be the connector going from the hull to turret. they putgoop om the back of the connector to strain releave the wires and got it on the contacts. in my case replacing the connector solved the problem.
