Hi all, a quick bit of advice if I may...
I have a Classic 10" with autopilot fitted in my 912S Europa. It has performed flawlessly for around 1 year.
Recently, I have been getting "roll servo offline" warnings. I remade all the obvious connections, but the fault recurrs every 5-30 minutes.
The pitch servo has started dropping out too now, sometimes at the same time and sometimes at different times from the roll servo.
The ammeter has started showing a current drain of -6 to -60 Amps; this is a false reading, the alternator light is not illuminated and the voltage remains above 14v. The readings fluctuate wildly; the battery is not being depleted.
Very occasionally all 4 EGT readings get a red X through them, but only for a matter of a second or 2.
I'm certain that this is a wiring issue, likely caused from a winter lay-up in a damp hangar.
I'm wondering if there's a likely single cause, such as an earth connection etc. I'm going to remove the panels this week and rewire the AP servos and check all, but if there's a common source of failure that I'm unaware of, I'd appreciate a pointer!
