Yep, the belts are intact and if I remove the bottom cover, I can
turn the motor and spindle easily.

Nope, nothing's clicking.

Other ideas?

Belts intact?

Interlock switch good?

Take the bottom cover off - can you spin the pack by hand? Ie, are the
spindle bearings free?

IIRC, the RK05 will spin a pack w/out being connected to anything, as
opposed to RL0x drives that want to see valid clock coming from the
controller. I could be mistaken about this - my RK-experience is nearly 5
years old now.

Ummm... also ISTR a fairly large relay back near the linear actuator that
turns the spindle motor on... is this clicking?

   Time to get out the Volts Guesser and a handy Schematic....


Cheers
