Lift won't start

I acquired a lift and the batteries had been hooked up backwards and now it won't start, but did run before. Im looking for help to narrow the problem down or where to begin looking.

Everywhere. Every electronic device could have been fried. I have had ignition modules, ECMs, PCMs, etc. You must go through and troubleshoot from the very beginning, fixing everything you find along the way, one at a time.

Fact of the week
In 1898, author Morgan Robertson wrote a novel called 'Futility', which described an "unsinkable" ship named the Titan that sank after hitting an iceberg. Fourteen years later, the Titanic sank in a strikingly similar fashion.

From the forum discussions …
"JonoG from Uruguay purchased a Fortens at auction and needed the CDF files. Northstar from Ghana came through with this advice: 'you have a copy of the file stored in the display cluster and with the pc service tool download it from display to the new VSM'."
