I seem to have one of my PQ controllers (the main lift control) on my jlg 50ht going bad on me. sometimes it doesn't work at all and other times it works flawlessly. if it makes any difference I think at this point it might be related to outdoor temperature since it seems to be working fine when it's warmer and not working when it's cold....havn't tested that a lot yet though. all other functions work fine. my current work around is to get the lift in place then swap the harnesses between the drive and lift controls and use the drive control to lift the boom. I tried replacing the potentiometer just to see if that made any difference (something I could do easily enough) and it didn't change anything. I had looked up the price of a replacement controller and about had a heart attack but also saw I could have one rebuilt for around $360....still pretty expensive. I was wondering if anyone out there had a cheeper alternative than this, or if someone had some pointers on how I could rebuild it myself? I tend to be pretty good with taking things appart and fixing them as long as I know what I have to replace/fix while I'm in there. I had looked into taking it appart before but couldn't quite figure out how it was supposed to come appart. didn't want to break it then be forced into buying a new one.
any ideas?
thanks,
