I have a 94 Ford van also with a Ricon lift.  As far as going up-and-down, the lower limits which sometimes sticks and I spray it with WD-40 after giving it a swift tap.  As far as lifting up into the van, it's sometimes sticks and someone has to lift the lift up manually to trip the limits switch.  My neighborhood dealer tells me to bring it in for a tuneup and minor adjustments, but I haven't found that time.  I guess that I get stranded one night I'll wish that I had taken his suggestions.

Subject: [QUAD-L] Van Problem

The lift on my van is not working properly. Sometimes when I let it down it won't lift up until someone manually jacks it up and at a certain point the hydraulics will kick in and it'll go up. We tried to fix it, but when the hubby took the box off, it would be a *good* lift every time. There has to be an adjustment some where. I'm hoping someone can help me with this so I don't have to drive 80 miles & spend $300 to get it fixed. I've had to ask strangers to manually jack it up & exit through the driver's door. It's a Ricon lift, on a '94 Ford van.
HELP!!!
