No Regen

My regen breaking started to randomly give up on me. With time, it stopped working all together. Checked the cabling (I have a separate button for regen function) and it looks like both of my EBS- white/blue cables came off the board on the controller (see below link for images).

Where do these go on the board? I'd like to solder them back to get my regen working again.

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

It should say on the board EBS-
That’s where you want to solder back it to.
I will get a picture and post later on.

Thanks!

Started to look into it today. I think I see EBS+ marked on the board, but not specifically find EBS- (I think what looks like EBS- now in the pic below (the top marking) was actually EBS+ as well, just possibly got partially erased with time, though it's somewhat hard to see for sure. The top and the bottom markings are both soldered together though, so that further makes me think it's the same terminal). Based on what I'm seeing, I think that's where it came off of (closeup pics below). Could someone confirm I'm not making a mistake here?

Re-soldered to EBS+ pins on the board as shown on the above picture - I've now regained the regen breaking :D

Either EBS- and EBS+ used to signal regen to the controller but you have to use only one and only in a specific situation.

EBS- is used to trigger regen by shorting it to the ground.

EBS+ is the opposite, you use it when you trigger regen by shorting it to 5v or 12v. It makes sense when you also use brake light, so that allows you to feed 12v to both the light and the EBS+ at the same time by pressing the brake lever.

Use of EBS- is preferred when you just need to trigger regen, no lights or other equipment needs to be activated during braking.
