Just when you think the problems have stopped.

Went to push the button on the remote to lower the TV in the Montana and it will not go down. The lippert module just makes a clicking sound. There is power to the module but it will not move. The manual switch also will not move it.

Today I think I will make arrangement to install a direct line to Keystone and we will purchase another RV so that one of there repair technician's can live with us and do repairs as required. I said that in hopes that I can make myself smile.

Push down on it and see if it catches (As you are pushing the button.)

Use your manual crank to lower the Monty a bit and then try your switches again.

I am pretty sure Gary is talking about the television inside the Montana and not the Tow Vehicle/Landing Gear.

Thanks Carl for clearing that up.

I found out how to fix it, I polish the truck and Judy went shopping.
When she got back she tried the remote on the TV lift system and it now works.

I wish that was in the repair manual.

I think that's a great solution. From now on...whenever we have issues..either the stick house or the Monty....I'm going shopping. Clearly that worked!!!

At first I thought you meant it would not come up out of its hole and thus you may have accidentally turned on the parental controls that allow it to come up only when G-rated shows are on. But you said it's already up and won't go down, so that's probably not the problem.

So in conclusion was it the polished truck or the shopping that fixed your tv lift?

Must have been both, can't figure out why it just started to work again. Battery's were good.

Sometimes it just takes a woman's touch. DH was just now having trouble with the zero-turn mower here on the property. I went out, said why not clear out all those clippings from underneath and voila!

Sucker started right up and he's gleefully mowing again.

Darn good thing, because later it's my turn to mow! Whoohoo!

The lifts have a timed reset, if they don't work let it set for a short time and it works. We don't have the remote but have the manual.
