    So, I was just playing my Johnny Mnemonic when the glove kept going all the way forward. I cleaned up the wiring yesterday, so I figured I maybe pinched something or something shorted. I had also replaced the X & Y nut yesterday. so maybe I had some cut or touching wires. I went over all my plugs, removed all my tie wraps checked everything over and over.

    WTF! multi meter out checking all the limit switches, opto switches, plugs. I checked everything!

    Well I finally checked the cabinet button, as it finally came to me that it could be the problem, and guess what.... The leafs were touching. A tiny bend and problem solved.
    @#$%$#@

    About 2 hours wasted on a 10 second fix. Why do you never think of the simple things first?

    LOL ... it's the way we are ... I often get people at work on things by asking them if the fuse is shorted

    That's pretty funny erak, nice job finding out in only a couple of hours, sometimes it can take me days to work out the most easiest of fixes. Always the simple things that get overlooked.

    And it is a terrible saying, but: "you always find things in the last place you look..." Same applies here.
