Ridgid Impact Driver: subcompact impact driver shuts off randomly

Shuts off randomly. Disconnecting the battery resets it and it goes back to working properly until it stops again.

Ridgid Brushless Impact Driver R86038 2017: Smoke comes from motor when battery is attached

Sat, 20 Sep 2025 02:42:56 -0700

Impact was “dead”. I disassembled to trouble shoot. Power leads coming in read zero volts with good battery connected. Once motor was removed from housing I connected battery and motor switches on without trigger, twitching forward and reverse but smoke comes from motor and metal housing got hot immediately. I’m assuming a short somewhere. Any help would be great appreciated.
