I think I'm digging myself into a deeper hole.

Hooked everything up as normal. Ground to frame, power to solenoids and the center terminal of the control box.

All I got was a couple clicks from the control box after about 6 seconds when I moved the lever toward the center of the frame. When I pulled it toward the outside it did nothing at all. No movement in the motor.

As a test, I left the battery hooked up as it was and got out my multi-meter. I tested both sides of the limit switch and both small terminals were the limit switch connects and I had 12 volts in all 4 locations. Is that right?

I thought the control box sent current there when the switch moved but what do I know.
