Default Did you ever notice that it never happens...

Well ... ours did fail in the up position (hence it took longer
for us to get around to fixing it. :-)

It was not the switch. It was the worm gear in the motor which
wore and jammed. Carefully designed so you have to drill and hole-saw
access to one of the three bolts which hold it in place. :-(

But all told, it was not that difficult to replace.

And you thought to stick your tools and a meter in the car, but it
doesn't have a DC Volts scale...


I don't have a meter which does not have a DC scale.

And you have three or four 12V Test Lamps (including one of the
"Computer Safe" LED models, but none with you...


Ouch!

90 minutes on the freeway listening to the slap echo off the K-rail.


But you were not driving through the overflow from a hurricane
when it happened? We got a *lot* of rain here yesterday, and a
beautiful day today.

Enjoy,
DoN.
