[QUOTE="Kathy, post: 854, member: 145"] Oh, you didn't offend me... you stated the obvious. Which is sometimes very useful. In this case, however.... My friend's husband and son... DO know how to operate the dratted thing. My brother... ASE certified master mechanic... also knows how to operate it. I didn't just crawl in the cage and decide I knew how to run it, but I wish I had, as your suggestion would be AWESOME :) I'm always so happy to give a "no charge" to a little old lady that had a towed in, no start.... that she tried to start in reverse... Sadly, this isn't the case. My brother wants to bleed off the hydraulics, pick the bucket up with his wrecker, back it onto my trailor... and take it to "warm up..." I see flaws in this plan, including bent metal parts... I'd bet money that I have a bad ground. The problem is, while I KNOW it's a twelve volt system, both my brother and I are troubleshooting from an automotive perspective. Which means I can play with my dvom, until the cows come home, but I don't actually KNOW what is supposed to be on any circut. I KNOW that all the fuses are good, presuming that the only fuse box is in the foot area of the cage. It worked fine, until we had an ice storm... then it ceased to function. I'm a bit frustrated, so hope I don't sound nasty... but, my buyers are getting tired of waiting... and I'd like to sell it. [/QUOTE]
