The LEDs of your H8 grip shift controller (or ARC) lose visibility or stop working altogether. This article will explain how to diagnose and fix it.

Problem diagnosis

When with an Automatic or Harmony, you notice that the ARC grip shift display is always dark or only partially lit.

Perform a diagnosis by connecting the display to a working automatic hub interface:

Situation 1 - The problem is resolved, therefore the fault is in the automatic hub interface (AHI).
Situation 2 - The problem persists, therefore the fault is in the controller.

Solution

Situation 1 - If during diagnosis the problem is solved when connecting a working automatic hub interface:

Replace the automatic hub interface with a new one. Follow this guide for detailed instructions: How to assemble legacy Automatic or Harmony hub interfaces on a rear wheel and bike frame

Situation 2 - If during diagnosis the problem persists when connecting a working automatic hub interface:

Replace the controller. Follow this guide for detailed instructions: How to assemble the legacy NuVinci H8 (ARC/grip shift) controller
