Tom I have the air operated type and I thought I had it fixed with
installing a new switch but back to square one and no fixie. I don't
know how Bluebird ever designed a unit like this but its like working
on a rubics cube. I get the juice to open the air soloniod vlv but
when I try to retrack it it just sit there. I can override the power
to the solinoid and the stairs will close. Owell tomorrow if its haft
way decent I will rack my brain again with this electrical problem.
