Hight switch 1

Hello everyone I have a problem that I can't figure out the hgts1 is always at 1 ( carriage above the mast )
I tried replacing the switch and it not that. I've notice I only have a positive coming in no negative. So now I'm trying to figure out what is driving this switch.. witch controller could be causing the problem. Because I can't lift saying I need to calibrate tilt switch and can't learn tilt switch if hgts1 is above mast.
Thank you very much

Check the function of the switch by manually moving the switch. Zero is in free Lift 1 is above free Lift. If the number never changes the wiring may be bad or miss wired.

Sometimes it takes a couple of tries to get the calibration to take. There's two things ga that the module looks for...angle and voltage. If it's always at 1, is the wires backwards? What voltage is supposed to ve supplied, negative or positive?
