Yes, indeed. I'm very appreciative of this forum and all who contribute to it.

Success! The posts on the circuit breaker and the wire terminals attached to them were so corroded I could not remove them. I cut the wires, spliced in some additional length of wire and added new terminals, and replaced the circuit breaker. The top now lifts and lowers on battery power only as...

Not sure I can point anyone in the right direction, but your problem sounds similar to mine. Attached is a photo of the breaker mounted on the outside of the box, at the back on what would align with the passenger side of the towing vehicle. You can see how corroded it is from exposure to the...

Thanks, but I doubt it's the battery and here is why: 1. I put in a new deep marine battery and still could not get the top to lift from battery power alone. 2. If it were the battery, I would not have been able to lift the top by attaching a jumper wire from the positive post to the selenoid...

Right. Will do. Thanks.

Yes, Treeclimber, I agree. I ordered two breakers, both have manual resets. Though I wonder if having one manual reset and one automatic reset would serve the same purpose, if the manual reset breaker gets tripped. On mine they put the automatic reset in the box and the manual reset on the...

I found two "shortstop 24VDC G16 30amp" breakers. I also found an inline fuse that was ok. One breaker was attached to the inside of the battery/pump container, one on the outside of it. The latter had a reset button. Pressed it, but it didn't move and didn't fix the problem. I connected a...

Great. Thanks, Bob.

Good to know. Thanks. Postponed my visit to fix this until Monday. Should be able to put everyone's good input to use then. I'll post after I know more. By the way, if I wanted to buy a breaker with a reset button, who sells them? Thanks.

Thanks Bob. Got it. The photo helps a lot. I will try resetting that breaker before doing anything else. My HiLo is parked on my friend's property and I will drive there tomorrow.

I will have to check my manual. I don't recall seeing any breakers near the 12V battery. I have fuses inside the trailer as well as breakers for the 110V system. That was the first thing I checked. They are ok. No problem with either. Thanks.

I do have a manual on CD. If cleaning the connections doesn't fix it, I'll check the manual for any missing wiring. Thanks.

Great. Thanks. Will do. I'll let you know how it goes.

I recently purchased a 2001 1901TL Hilo Towlite. With 110V AC plugged in, it raises and lowers. If I try to do so from the 12V battery, it won't. It's a new battery, fully charged. If I attach a jumper cable from the positive battery terminal to the selenoid when the top is down, it will raise...
