I bought the unit used from an auction, so you get what you get! I bought the unit to work in my personal shop, trying to eliminate me crawling on ladders ;-). I plugged it in for a charge and it completed it's cycle. There seems to be no life when I turn on the key. After searching this forum, I checked the connections in the front panel, checked the fuses up there as well. I get 24.5 volts total on the batteries which seems low. When I turn on the key, nothing happens, no click of the solenoid, no hour meter etc. Totally dead. When I jump the solenoid in the battery compartment, I get some action. I can release the brakes, hour meter works, panel lights up. No movement of the platform of wheels. As I said, I get just over 24 volts from the batteries, but when I engage the solenoid, I get 20-21 volts on the other side of the solenoid. I presume that maybe my batteries have run their course. Before I replace them though, would bad batteries give me these symptoms? Looking for a few answers before I spend too much money on this auction Princess. Thanks. Matt

A bit of an update. Winner to Justus in Finland on the solenoid suggestion and the unit is operating. A new solenoid is on order, but if I tap the current one, I am getting by.
Another question (and maybe I should post it new). I don't think my speed switch (turtle/rabbit) is working. It feels like it is moving in rabbit mode in either setting. Other than buying this thing for my personal shop, I have no history running one, so I am unsure how 'slow' turtle mode actually is. Thanks
Check the emergency switches (2 emergency switches) and the fuse socket And check all socket (left and right hand).
Solenoid is broken....it doesent connect well....measure resistance.
