Pete,

My Jake would intermittently stop working and I found that if I
pulled the 4 associated relays out of the outside panel, cleaned the
contacts and reinserted them, it would start working again------------
for a while. Finally I cleaned them and put some dielectric grease on
the relay connections and it has not cut out again since.
