I recently acquired my first home and first pool. What a learning curve! My Autopilot system has a couple issues; purifier off check flow, time clock not working. I opened up the cover and see the below on the main circuit board -

Can anyone help my identify what’s going on in the bottom left here? I’m a complete newbie so any help on this and the other issues mentioned above would be greatly appreciated!
 
Welcome to TFP.

I am not sure what wires go to where but you have some overheated and burnt out electrical connections.

These guys can help you repair or replace the Autopilot unit…


Check back here is you decide you want to move to a different manufacturers system.

Thanks for the advice! I’ve reached out to them and they’ve recommended replacing the whole unit which I’d really rather avoid as a new homeowner…

WRT the time issue, I replaced the backup battery so now the clock holds the same time after a unit restart however the clock still doesn’t advance. I’m starting to think the burn out on the circuit board may be controlling the clock.
 
With that amount of burnt wiring and a burnt connector that unit should be replaced.
