Help!

Whitfield Advantage 2.

My auger quit working and I have gone through all of the diagnostics from the forum tips here - by passed the pressure switch, cleaned the auger, tested motor directly to outlet and it runs fine. Here is the real question: if I by pass both limit switches and nothing works would that mean the control panel? I also put a tester (cheap light type) on the two wires going into the limit switches and it is a dull light as opposed to a bright light like it is not getting full 120 volts. Actuallly it fires up bright when I hit the on buttton them dims after a few seconds. The feed light is a bright blinking per my feed rate.

can anyone help me?

Keith
