mccord electric cutoiut problem I have recently installed my Mccord electric cutout, which I've had for a while, and it worked for about 1/2 an hour then the motor died...
does anyone know a good way of contacting mccord because I can never reach them on the phone and they don't return messages?

i've heard bad things about all the electric cutouts, but mccord seemed to have the best track record of the people I talked to...
it's disappointing though when the thing doesn't even work for a whole hour let alone long enough to really test it out

I haven't had a single problem with mine and it's been
on the car for over a year. Probably opened & closed
it 50 times. I'd first check the limit switches and see if
the stop-feelers are maybe messed up and keeping the
motor from being powered. It'd be unusual for the motor
itself to fail. McCord told me they do a fairly long burn-in
test before shipping.
I believe early versions of both McCord and QTP cutouts
had some mechanical / materials shortcomings that had
to be learned and redesigned out. So you will see some
folks with a bad opinion of either one.

I'll keep you updated on whether or not I need that motor...
I have checked all the electrics and things seem fine, and i can see that there is current going through the motor with my multimeter
the butterfly is fine and isn't stuck on anything
there is power getting to the motor correctly...
i haven't been able to test out the motor since i've taken it off, but I can only think that it's the motor, or that there's something wrong with the gear
