crypler/fiat was smart enough to contract with cummins.   Frod contracted with IH, then bastardized it to remove some of the IH reliability.  Then decided to kick NavistarIH and build their own POS.   Shovey built their own POS. It gradually got refined until it was no longer a complete

How many wires go to the lift motor? I should think that if you can get to the motor wiring, you should be able to check to see if putting power on in one direction and then the other makes the window go up and down. At that point, it should be possible to wire in some form of switch or
