 Hi;
I have a 24 volt 60 something # Auto-pilot .I'm running Optima spiral
cell batteries .Thursday , it just stopped working .The batteries are charged .Theres power at outlet to plug motor in . BUT there are no lights
where it should show battery power left.(on mount frame , near lock,unlock)
The Lund on-board charger appears fine.
Any thoughts ?
Thanks.....

Fuses or circuit breaker by the batteries? I'd check for a blown fuse or tripped breaker.

Location: Stevens Point, WI		Did you unplug the motor before charging your batteries? You can fry the foot pad controls if you don't unplug it first.

Are you using a Marinco plug? If so, take it apart and look at the 'burn bar' which will act like a fuse if there is a short. If that bar is blackened even a little, start with a new plug.
