Hi Alex,

I am glad that dougw  found a source for your relays. You have peaked my curiosity though as I have never seen two relays fail in the same piece of equipment simultaneously without there being a serious problem external to the relays themselves. Relays by their nature are very robust and do not fail easily. How have your relays failed? Do they have open coils or are the contacts damaged? What has led you to diagnose them as failed? You have probably figured this all out but just in case you haven't I would recommend testing the relay coils for continuity and if they are good using an external source of power to actuate them and check the continuity of the contacts. It might save you buying new relays only to find that there is a deeper problem.

Isn't it mandatory that a lift is serviced and checked by a certified person?

or is lift something different than elevator?

Hi Jan,

I took it to mean a personal lift for helping a handicapped person get from the bed to a wheel chair or from a seated to a standing position like these:

If it is something different perhaps Alex can post a picture.
