Massey 3635 Lift Arms not working

As above arms not working at all. The two LEDs on the ELC do not light at all.
I've checked all the basics. All fuses are ok, the alternator is charging properly, I've disconnected the draft pins individually.
The toggle switch is working correctly. The autotronic function is working (turns off the diff lock when the toggle is on the up position.)
Any ideas on what to check next?

Try looking in the autotronic box underneath the rh door usually wires corroded or brocken

No power going to the lift position sensor, the draught pins or the yellow wire on the toggle switch. Any other ideas? To me it looks like the computer on the under side of the box isnt sending any power out.

Ok so I've gone and tested my control box in a 3095 and everything works perfectly so I can rule out the box as faulty.
Using a multimeter on the ELC box connector I'm getting 13.5 to 14.2 volts depending on the revs so I assume that the alternator is ok too.
Is it most likely a draft pin or a position sensor that is causing the problem? Is there any way of testing them or is it just a case of replacing and hoping it works?

unscrew the potentiometer and make sure the end will push in and springs back out and if you can just plug it in the 3095 and have the arms at the bottom put it in lift then push the end of it in and see if it lifts

I've tried my position sensor in the 3095 and it's working ok. I pressed the plunger in and out and the arms reacted as they should. What should I do next check the wiring again or get the alternator tested?
