Thanks guys. I have taken my van to Louisville at least six times and I can honestly say they have never actually fixed a single thing. Their answer is always a new lift /can't be fixed. Here is another question for you guys. My backup battery system is not receiving charge. I know there is a separator solenoid that regulates this. Any thoughts? Thank you guys for letting me pick your brain.

It just irks me that they quit supporting the lift with so many of them still out there. Who or what is Newark Electronics? I can live without sarcasm.

Only a relay switch. There is a good chance that an electric shop can obtain a new relay and solder it to the board for you. Where do you think Braun got their relays from? Newark Electronics?

They diagnosed my problem as a bad relay switch on the circuit board. The switch is embedded so the obvious solution is a new circuit board. Guess what? The part was discontinued earlier this year by Braun. Their solution -- a new lift for $7000. I just bought this one from them two years ago for $3500. Any suggestions? Makes me want to scream.
