[DeTomaso] Any ideas

Do you hear the pump motor turning / running?
If not, are you sure there is power going to it?

Dear Bwerner,

           Hmm, my eight year old four poster has seen temps that low and 
has not failed to work.   Dumb ideas:  wrong hydraulic fluid?
                                     faulty pump?


          Those are ignorant suggestions and I, too, would like to see more 
experienced and expert answers.


                           Good luck,  Chuck Engles
