"Marc Ramsey" wrote in message news:mbCgb.8522 I finally noticed
that the temperature probe plug wasn't quite seated properly (about 1 mm of the
barrel was exposed above the connector). I pulled it out and pushed it in, and
the 302 magically started working again. Given that a slight tug is all that is
needed to unseat it, you may want to look at it carefully...

I had probe problems with my 302. It boots and works without the
probe connected but it will not boot with a failed probe. I assume
the partially seated 3 way plug is behaving the same as a failed
probe. I had 2 probe failures my first year with the 302. (Both were
exchanged under warranty so no complaint there)

Since the 302 will operate with disconnected probe I asked CAI to
explain why a probe failure should prevent boot. I also suggested they
change the firmware so it would report the probe failure but still
operate. I think that fell on stoney ground.

BTW the original 302 manual suggested use of silicone sealant to hold
the temp probe in place. I think tht was changed in later manuals. I
wonder if they found there was a corrosion problem.
