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.…

This seems also a carbon copy of what I have gone through!! I am also on my third pair now and guess what, I am now getting power dropouts for approx 10-15 per time and then they read up to over 7000 watts (I wish!) to somehow try and make up for the watts that have been missed!

Will definately let you know. As you said, I’m getting the same issue as you… But haven’t hit 7000 Watts yet!

Silly question guys, but are you putting a mineral oil like baby oil between the batteries and also on the terminals of you vector 3s. Also cleaning the black dust out each time you change the batteries? I had problems initially with my V3s but once Garmin pointed me at this article, I have (finge…

Thanks. I’m not doing the baby oil but can’t see any black dust. Clean as a whistle in there.
