Given that it is supposed to work with the remote, which implies a computer controls the circuit that activates the motor or solenoid, the problem may not be simple. Do you have a wiring diagram? Does the computer control the relay? Can you access the relay socket, and maybe test the wires

I think it's a reversible motor with a screw shaft rather than a solenoid, so I think an interruption in the electrical circuit is a more likely cause. Greg -Original Message- From: Mercedes [mailto:mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com] On Behalf Of G Mann via Mercedes Sent: Saturday,

If you use WD40, it might open this time, but not next time - try LPS-1 or Houdini --- On Sat, Sep 7, 2019 at 5:28 PM Greg Fiorentino via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Thanks Grant. I'll give that a try. > > Greg > > -Original Message- > From: Mercedes
