I think we need to start at basics.
1. There are two fuses located on the drivers side front fender to the rear of the battery attached to the solenoid buss bar. One is a 30 amp fuse, the other is a 7 1/2 amp fuse. Both must be verified as being good fuses.
2. There is a switch on the underside of the dash to the left of the steering column close to the door. This switch must be thrown toward the steering column.
3. If the unit still will not function, the limit switches built into the gear reduction portion of the leveling motor must be examined to verify the wiring is intact.
4. Assuming everything checks out so far, remove the four screws that hold the wiring cover on the "brain" and gently slide it down the wires. Then verify that all wires are plugged into their proper color-coded terminals..
5. If all of this checks out, then return to the solenoids mounted on the drivers inner fender. Connect a jumper wire to GROUND and TOUCH (not connect) BRIEFLY the small top terminal on the LOWER solenoid. You should hear the TL motor start. Do NOT hold the jumper on. Just touch it long enough to hear the motor and immediately pull it away.
6. If the motor runs as described in "5." then you have a problem with limit switches OR the "brain".
