[Buffalo Jim]

Can’t get the lift to work atal ,
Changed rocker switch on armrest
Checked fuses on left hand side of steering colum all ok , will work when manual press solenoids on back end ,
No lights coming on atal on lift display ,
Anything else I should be looking at

Check fuses at front of the bonnet near air filter. Fairly sure these are part of circuit

a few options on rocker switch have you fitted same as was fitted or different one ?

I'm sure that you're not as stupid as I am but I once couldn't get the linkage to work so removed the armrest switch and tried to clean it and ended up breaking it. Bought and fitted a new switch, still didn't work.
I then noticed the rate of drop knob was all the way round at the padlock....

Fitted newer switch but got a diagram with it to rewire

Do you not get flashing light sequence on the lift control panel if the switch is at fault ? I’m getting no red lights on that panel atal ? Just illumination of the dials that’s it

Might be a broken wire in the harness for the armrest.Perhaps at the side or rear of the seat.

 

[masseybreaker]

is it the type with the diode that you have to solder in the harness ? @dee what are your thoughts

No diode .

I wasn't aware of having to fit a diode only knew you need to fit the new switch and make sure it ends in M5 as earlier ones didn't work properly.

@Jerseyjames remove the r/h panel beside the seat. You will see the linkage calculator. (Silver box)
Below this there is plugs that have red and purple wires in them.
Check that none of the wires are corroded and that you have power in the red wires.
There could be a 3.amp fuse in there too check it's ok

Sounds like it's time the brain was checked

The 3amp switch on ours was right down the bottom and was corroded

Will look into this today thanks

@dee should the rear lift switches work even if the armrest rocker is no good ??

 

[Buffalo Jim]

Thanks guys all sorted , @dee 3amp fuse was the culprit
