[Ramblin' Rec]

Check the electrical connections at the switches. Ours worked at the dealer when we bought it, but not when we got home. We took Bill's advice and unbolted the motor so we could slide it manually until we had time to diagnose it. My husband, who is a very hands-on EE, concluded that the problem is the "insulation displacement" connectors used to connect the wires to the switches. They are probably quick and easy to install if you have the right tool, but they don't reliably cut through the insulation and make a good connection with the wire they're clamped onto. He's also not impressed with the connection where they slide onto the spade on the switch. After swapping out all the connectors on the two switches, the motor now turns on when it should.

NOTE: if you have to remove the bolt holding the motor to the slide, put it in a safe place where you can find it again. Now, can anyone tell me what size that bolt is so I can go buy another one?
