That is really good ,thorough information....many thanks. In view of this advice I will keep a careful eye on the desulphation phase when charging and my other eye on deals to purchase a 14.8v max charger ....whether it be CTek with which I have had no issues or alternatives such as NOCO. The...

Thanks flowrider. ...good to know. I will look into the CTek smart charger.

Now he...

Star....many thanks.....will get it looked at ASAP...like to see out the back!!

hello Star Thanx for the suggestion ....tried it and have moved the arm, in fact with my assistance I can get the arm to perform full sweeps back and forth.As soon as I stop assisting ,it stops in that position ie anywhere on its' arc. Is that a sign of a motor problem rather than...

Thanx for that Blobcat.....before I start to dismantle, I would like to check the fuse and relay...have found with other mercs I've had that the relay can come loose in its' fitting so before I start the wrecking process of removing panels etc would love to find the actual fuse diagram for my...
