 An electrical schematic would be helpful..  

 I am fairly sure that the limit switches are wired in series .. i.e. the two center soldered red wires on each of the limit switches should be soldered together..  

 Need help or suggestions on the rest of the wires...  

 Any help would be greatly appreciated...

 

Thank You

 

Tommy

John.,

 

  I am working with this .this morning..  The two red wires ( your labeled # 3) No CONNECTED Together...  Are these hanging loose??  Not connected to each other.. ?? We thought maybe these two long red wires were supplying power from one end of tipple to other....

 If not used.. Why are they routed thru the carriage at all...

 

 Please ., your thoughts.. ??
