2003 Hot Spring Prodigy Control Head issue?

[clojacks]

My 2003 HS Prodigy control head push buttons haven't worked for a number of years, but the lights on the bottom indicating whether it is at temp or not do. Can the push buttons not work but the lights still indicate the tubs ready or not? Do I need a complete new control head or is the power tape bad?

Are you referring to the logo lights?  I think It's possible that a wire was disconnected when the access panel was removed and never re-connected

I know this is an issue on newer hotspring hot tubs where a novice user will remove the front access panel and accidentally rip off the wires connecting the logo display lights to the control board.  Or sometimes people remember to disconnect, but never re-connect the wires when reinstalling the access panel.

That's where I'd start looking before assuming you need a replacement board - especially these days when you'll have trouble finding a replacement control board for that old spa

MY control head lights actually work...it is the push buttons for all the hot tub controls that don't. Which is why I am wondering if it could be a ribbon strip issue? I would think if the control head panel was bad, nothing would work on it. None of the push buttons to control the jets (on or clean), lights, or temp buttons work. But the red and green "ready" lights do.

Open the control box and post pic of the circuit board with power on.

Check controller wire and connections.
