Well still cloudy outside, but I managed to train the drives with a "target" in the yard........BUT the LNT would not keep the time.......after getting advice decided it needed a new battery.......which fixed it!!! Seems the little battery inside lasts about 1-2 years at most. Yea!! fixed it!!! but those adjustment SPRINGS on the LNT module are a bear to get back on!

Just a word to wise........put on the TOP screw and spring first (leave it loose and barely on) then squeeze the side spring and put it in position and quickly push through the side adjustment screw. AND watch out when taking them out ... the springs will POP OUT and you will be crawling on the floor(like me) trying to find it! (which I eventually did find it!). Oh well everything is back together and working now. smile
