check, as Herman says, if you reconnect the factory interconfiguration? There is also an interchange on the turret (small hatch) this one, would it not be on Off? Or a cut wire?

if you talk about the small swicht, it only exists for the BB firing system and yes if cut, recoil motor not working? it does not act on the micro switch which triggers the function, look near the M / A button and take charge, do I remember more or exactly? Personally I would say under the tank?

possibly the bb cut out switch is in the commanders hatch, or, under the tank.
The taigen system has to have its earth wire connected to the on/off switch or the firing sequence wont work.
If you get the barrel to recoil but there is no flash or sound, that could be the travel of the slider not contacting the microswitch, or, the flash circuit is not plugged togehter correctly.
Mr Jofaurs pictures are very good references.

:thumbup: Herman, summed up very well, the procedure to follow
indeed, possible commander hatch? this is the most common case, unless equipped with "IR" battle system or it will be a small socket for the apple. But in all configurations of the system, there will always remain a mechanical problem, linked to an electrical problem (contact which does not is not done? to control the action) also check the connection of the corresponding plug to V3

the flash unit isn't working because the gun isn't recoiling to trigger the micro switch. As for the recoil check to see if there is an on/off switch under one of the hatches on the turret if so make sure its in the on position if it is in the on position and doesn't work it's possible the the live wire that connects the recoil motor to the elevation motor has come loose so will need to take the turret apart to check connections.

As for the mg on your pic you have a turret mg connected by the 3 pin plug with 1 wire in each end if that is working and the hull mg isn't then the circuit is working as they use the same circuit take off the 8 pin board and check the hull mg connections.

Good evening, finally photos!! it is therefore an Asîatam recoil system. check the connection (black wire under sheath) it is precisely this wire which comes from the switch, and it is a minus, Then see also, by manually pulling the barrel? can the mechanism be blocked? this happens often.....for possible inter? if it is an original assembly of the reversing mechanism? should be absent? (personal opinion) otherwise remove the ring gear, and remove the turret to see if everything is OK, personally I would have a doubt about the junction of the black wire (under sheath) and the small wire? blue,

Do the front headlights work? The MG and the headlights share a common voltage. They don't however share a ground wire. The MG LED could simply be burned out. You should probably pick up a small multimeter. With a multimeter you can check the voltage going to the machine gun when you push the button.

As far as the main gun is concerned, these slip rings have really small wires. I would guess one has become disconnected in the turret. You would need to open the turret to look for a disconnected wire.

yes head light works turret mg works , just bow MG does not work , and main gun does not work , the rest , moving , smoke , sound , turret turn , gun up n down all works fine
