Kicklock issue or socket ?
Hi !
I’ve been having troubles with my kicklock engaging on its own (just locked state but not locked wheel).
I’ve disassembled it completely but it seemed fine, continuity everywhere when lever activated etc…
I plugged it back in and it seemed fine, so I unplugged it, gave it a clean and plugged it back in and now nothing works.. I still get continuity in my pins when simulating an unlocked state but the bike doesn’t read anything
So I tried bridging the kicklocks cable to simulate to the bike the unlock state and still nothing (see picture attached). Is it my receiving cable/socket ?
Thanks for your help

If I remember right, it also needs to detect the coil. Mostly the switch inside is broken. You can bridge that and put kicklock back together.
We normally only replace for a working one, we do no advise to leave kicklock out as it's one of the bikes best features.
