Pool Pilot Digital Nano plus - burned wires from power supply board

[jangelj]

I started getting the Low Amps message. The cell is only 2 years old, so I thought I'd open things up and see what could be causing the error. Lo and behold, visibly burnt wires from Power supply board to the transformer.
I'm a fairly handy guy, but have NO experience with this. Obviously I could just replace the burnt wires, but I would like to test the output of the PS board and/or the transformer. Anyone have any experience with these? Do you know what readings I should get?
Thanks!

Welcome to TFP.

We don't see many Autopilot SWGs and don't know specific readings beyond what Autopilot publishes in their Volts and Amps Guide..

SaltPoolGuys.com has helped with diagnostics and is a good source for AutoPilot parts.

Maybe @JamesW has ideas.

I'm not sure about the Autopilot.

Probably need to check with the manufacturer.

Thanks! I did contact SPG (Chase) and he was super helpful. He suggested just replacing the wires, which I did. I am still receiving the Low Amp message, but suspect the cell is bad (it's 3 years old). I've ordered a new cell and report back once I replace it and test the system.
After doing some digging, the transformer from whence the burned wires connect, seems to be working fine. Output is 12.9 volts, which is what it is supposed to be (I think).

As a final follow-up. The replaced burned wires are holding up just fine. I did have to replace the cell and cell cable as they were 3 years old and had visible corrosion. I'm up and running again!
