Was working fine ,steering still works as it should , after removing the back cover I found by pushing in bottom contactor.I could hear hydraulic pump run , and can lift while this is done. There is a potted ?(covered in silicone) part above the contactor that has many wires on a plug ? maybe from micro switches ? and then 3 no plug wires , I found using my car remote starter switch , jumping from the black to the yellow the hydro pump will run and I can use the lift.( if you keep the pump running with out using any hydro it times out and shuts off , let off remote starter switch , and it resets to working by button again) I am thinking it's the "potted " part that's bad. The micro switches ohmed out okay , plus the chances off all of them going bad at once is slim. PLEASE HELP , fuses have ohmed out okay. The black wire is picking up power from the hot side of the contactor , and the yellow is connected to the coil that pulls in the contactor , the 3rd wire is red is connected to other side of coil.
