It looks horrible...which is par for the course for this p.o.s. lift. Wire insulation strips right off when you grab the wires... an inch of old gummed up shAt all over switch...... This one has a RES (resistor?) mounted to it... so it has 4 wires, 2 for switch and another 2 for the RES. I completely disconnected the two going to the contactor panel, nothing changed. I reinstalled them and disconnected the other two going to terminal block TB405, and lost fw/rev... And the arm is moving as it should.

I have another one I could try off our junk lift, but it doesn't have the style with the "RES"... which is a side question I don't completely understand what is the RES doing exactly and why is it needed on top of the switch? Same with steering limit switches I noticed they have them too.

by the way battery voltage on this machine is low like 36v they have already had it rebuilt once a year or two ago. supervisor mentioned having it sent out to get rebuilt again.... but it would operate at a normal speed even with the battery issue...
