Mine has a wire jumper that I can’t remember where it goes. It appears to be an extension for the Lidar motor wires, but I can’t say for sure if that’s where it was when I took this apart over a year ago. I can’t find anywhere else it might go.
were those common in these? or do know of anyplace else it might go?
Thanks!
