my old advantage II insert will not operate. been sitting for several years. when start pushed all 10 light illuminate for 1 second and go out , nothing else. I seem to remember when it did work there was a click when start pushed,now nothing.
i did check fuse on controller;good. Also bypassed each switch with jumper one at a time; no change. Put 110v to both motors and the auger ; all worked.
Thinking controller is bad; what do you think. Had local electronics guy test and said he thought the processor may be bad? Looking for advise about having it tested and possibly repaired. Don't have a lot of money to spend, ant ideas?
