👀WORK IN THE RECOVERY INDUSTRY? PLEASE READ.👀👍
Customers with a disability rely on Lodar Remotes and don't have a backup when it goes wrong so we would like to pass on some knowledge so you can get car disability ramps and lifts working again.
1. Check the batteries, turn off the remote, then back on, and press any yellow button and it should light the LED, if it flashes then replace the batteries.
2. If the batteries are OK, It WILL BE THE FUSE HOLDER on the ramp. Like yesterday's call when the person was 3 hrs away from home.
Find the vehicle battery, and you will see some non-standard, thick wiring to the positive wire, the fuse holders are normally crimp on spade terminals. The fuse holders corrode inside and loose contact. Wiggle the fuse, and if loose, gently squash the spade terminals to grip the fuse better and it will work.
The smile we get down the phone and thanks makes this business the best to be in!
We always recommend they take it to a garage they trust and ask the garage to replace the fuse holder so it doesn't happen again.
Or if you are like the lady who left a nice google review for us, she went to the shops, bought the parts and fixed her grandads car herself!👍
