What is the battery voltage?
Connect a meter, turn the lift on, and watch the meter.

man, are you checking any of these parts or just replacing them? The diode blocks are not what i was talking about. there is a diode on the contactor coil.. physically on the terminals of the contactor coil.


does the contactor close then open immediatly? or not at all?

if all the epo circuit is ok, check the diode on the line contactor, make sure it is not giving the coil a dead short. it being on backwards can simulate this.

Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
