My Capt. was a dirty mess when I got it. All the issues I had came down to dirty, out of adjustment relay switches. And my door was a mess also. Now it works perfectly. Once I cleaned every switch leaf then when something was giving me issues I followed schematic to the bad relay and was able to fix a lot of stuff. Even when it looked like the switch was making contact it wasn't. I would have to slightly bend the leaf so it contacted at a different location. Sometimes I would get stumped and come back here for help.

Wow! I just noticed my lower switch guide screw is loose. Back to the game room.
