I’m now on my 3rd set of vector 3 pedals following a number of issues - battery covers, failing to connect and the latest - power keeps dropping out and getting right power sensor missing. I’ve tried all the fixes -replaced battery covers, changed batteries, disconnected, reconnected, repaired, etc.…

I’ve been fairly lucky w mine. No major issues w the new caps. Only some dropouts. But I just installed the long 3v batteries. And they seem to be reading more consistently and no r pedal missing issues. Honestly they seem to work better w my wahoo head unit than my edge 530 sometimes.

Wanted to link this thread here as it provides info on the other issue that can cause dropouts. I’ve been “lucky” enough to experience both, but my new set has had zero issues in three months. I thought Garmin handled my case well with minimal impact to my training and minimal inconvenience, unlike …

Hey, just wanted to share my solve. I was just sent a new set of Vector 3’s by Garmin after my last set developed fretting (which I’d never heard of or been told about before) and, according to Garmin, because it was cross threaded. It was replaced free of charge. So this is my second set of V3’s a…

Bought my Vector 3s 2 months ago. Worked perfectly for the first month and since then power spikes and drop out continually. Very disappointed as I had previously had Power tap G3 for years with nary a problem. Thanks for all the above suggestions and i’ll give them a try…

Had my Vector 3 pedals since they were launched, and not had too many issues (a few rides on bumpy gravel roads have given me a few weird power spikes), but even the original battery compartments never gave me any issues. But, I recently stripped the thread in the right pedal (must have happened ov…

Prior to the replacement battery covers Garmin provided, i was getting around 20 hours on my V3 pedal batteries. With the new covers, I also purchased a longer extension cable for my ant+ PC dongle, so it is directly below the pedals. I also cleaned the black stuff off the batteries and terminals …

First pair bought in May 2018, they sent me new battery door in June 2018 to fix drop outs and spikes. Then they worked well until April 2019. Started having right side drop outs and they sent me new PCBs to install. That didn’t work so they swapped these for refurbs with the ‘new’ parts. Those last…

I’ll be the third on the baby oil train. My V3s are post-door issue and was having lots of drop outs. Once I used the baby oil, the problems have all seemingly gone away.

Anything in particular I need to say to get a refund? Bought about a year ago and they dropped signals nonstop, they sent me a new battery door, and it worked for 6 months and now it just reads 0 Watts the whole time. I’m so fed up with them I just want my money back

I haven’t done it myself, but I’ve watched, and yes, it’s very straightforward. But yes, you do need the right tools…
