Im a newbie .. so if this has already been answered .. please send the link to the string..

Taps isnt working .. its been sitting all winter.. replaced the batteries.. so based on other opinions here is my list of items to check..

Check wiring of batteries.. forgot to hook up a wire?
Relay?
Fluid?

Im I missing anything else?

Under the helm, there is a breaker box with 2 white switches. Make sure they are swithed up in the on position.

When you use the switch on the throttle, do you hear any clicking?

If no, then it is a result of no power going to the relay box under the dash. There are three wires under the dash - red, white, and black (in a grey sheath). Make sure the connections are all tight as the come from the throttle. These three wires then go into a larger harness. They then go into a black box, with the relays. You may need to replace this TAPS box.

If you do hear clicking - there is a problem between the relays and the motor. There is a 4 pin connector just before your hydraulic motor. Although the connections might look good, triple check them that they are tight.

If you're ok jumping wires, I can tell you how to direct wire the motor to test that it is working.

It is clicking.. at this point Im willing to try anything.. im assuming when you talk about jumping wires .. are you talking about bypassing the relay?

[foreignhaus]

they are .. no luck .. thanks

Good that they are clicking, easy to diagnose.

Find the 4 pin connector. There should be a green, black, blue and ? wire. DO NOT connect the green wire to anything - it is for a pressure sensor.

Pull apart the connector. You will be hooking up to the pump side of the connector. Hook the black wire to the negative of a 12V battery. Hook the blue to the +. The pump should start. If you put the + lead onto the other wire (NOT the green), the pump should run in the other direction.

If the motor just clicks, but does not "humm", then you'll need a new hydraulic motor. I have pulled the motor apart and fixed them - they're not too bad. Possible just one or both of the brushes on the inside is shot.
