Got lucky today. Pulled the lower side cover to investigate. I must confess I've never been into a lift before, but I do know my way around machines, switches, and even Porsche motors. I used a rubber handle mallet to manually operate the different switches and found one stuck in the on position. Disconnected the battery and sprayed all the contacts with cleaner and viola! Back to normal operation.
