Hi, don't really like the search engine here so heres the situation- I have hyd. slides and jacks, the motor continues to run after activation is complete. Happens on slides and jacks. Sometimes it will stp after 5-10 secs I have also had to use bat.kill switch to stop. PI sent me a new pendant which i havent changed out because it occurs on slides also. Thanks for your input. Ray

Ray, If I understand you correctly, after you release the switch the motor continues to run.....does the application continue also, or does it stop and the motor keep running? If it continues to run without the application moving, my best guess would be a solenoid sticking. Just guessing though...I haven't studied the circuitry on the Excel set up. We used a very similar system on our retractable and convertible tops on our vehicles. rockin'

Yes, the application-slide or jack stops when the switch is let off.

Here' some info that gives you some basics.....This info is quite dated and many updates have been made since then. http://www.lci1.com/OwnersManuals/hy...20Gear-Web.pdf

http://www.lci1.com/LIP/0034.pdf As it applies to Excel.....Again.....dated....looks like the start up of '07 stuff to me. rockin'

Doesn't sound like anyone wants to chime in here on this one. I won't hesitate to call PI and ask for Curtis....he is the know-all on the hydraulics on Excels. Heck of a nice guy. Sometimes he's hard to get a hold of because he's on the plant floor alot. Keep trying. Like I said sounds like a sticking solenoid to me. rockin'

Sorry, don't have any knowledge with the system...Read both links and googled info about the system but anything I would say would only be a guess as I don't have the system on my unit and haven't seen it in operation.

It's OK....you can't "KNOW IT ALL" !!!! You have splinters in your hands.......not fluid in your veins!!!

You do such a great service with the 101 thread my friend.......Thanks! rockyheadtom

Thanks Tom, talked w/ Lippert and they think Solinoid also. Waitin for a call back from PI. Other than a loose ground which Ive double checked seems it. At least its a easy change out.
also the links were very informative. thx agian. Ray

So glad it worked out. Every once in a while we guess right. Wish I did better at my odds in Vegas!!!
