Jeremy,
Like Steve said, start with the simplest
approach. After making sure the connections on top of the lift motor are
clean and tight, Take a Multimeter (VOM) and connect one lead
to the middle wire going into the top of the lift motor, and then
to one of the other two connections on the
motor. Flip the lift switch both ways. One of the two ways should
give you a 36v reading. Then, keeping the one meter lead on the
middle connection, check the remaining motor wire the same way. One should
give you 36v with the lift switch in the up position and the other one
should energize in the down position.
If one of the
two is dead, then your problem is not in the motor but either a bad switch, bad
connection to the switch or a bad wire running from the switch to the lift
motor (watch out for mouse damage, I have found they consider
Elec-Trak wires somewhat of a delicacy and will chew right through
them.)
BTW, if you don't have a Multi-meter use two leads
going to a light bulb. 36v will make a 120v bulb glow dimly when the
circuit is complete.
