the fan and red/green lights pulse every second between on/off when in high mode on my Castile. Only happens when on high. Any thoughts about what could be happening. Thanks

I don't know if will be the same failure mode as my Mt.Vernon AE, but check the wire harness between the fan motor and the computer. My Mt.Vernon AE did the same thing. I replaced the fan motor with no success. I pulled the harness out and found that the contacts were burnt. They use cheap connector pins in their electronics. I have updated mine to some heavy duty pins. It's been fine ever since.

Hmmm-I'll have to take a look, I'm not sure how this one is made up. Considered just replacing the control module but thought I'd run the problem by the forum first. Thanks for your input
