>>> If that doesn't work, disconnect the battery (don't want any surprises

>>> green / black) from the limit switch.  Making sure that those two wires
>>> are not touching a grounded surface,
>>> reconnect the battery.  With the lights switched off, and with the
>>> ignition key on, MOMENTARILY touch those two

>>> Try the above tests and report back to us.
