[QUOTE="Cowcatcher, post: 4048649, member: 43171"] Like Dennis said, you’ve got a problem with the switch or the linear actuator. I’ve bought several linear actuators on Amazon and had good luck. If you have no specs on your actuator you’ll just have to measure the stroke you need and measure how much weight you are pushing or pulling before you go shopping. I rig actuators like those to raise and lower feed spouts on trucks. They are also used on hay balers to run the duckbill carrying net wrap into chamber or running arms on twine. Anyhow I think Dennis has you on track. Oh and the switch reverses polarity between up and down. So there’s just two wires going to actuator. There will be a connector between it and the switch. Ground one wire and put 12v (I assume) to the other and see if actuator runs. Then flip your two connections and try it again. [/QUOTE]
