      I have a 2009 36FWS and one day I tried to operate the landing gear and it would not move.

      I’ve checked power to the motor and have 12V.

      Replaced the Motor, still will not operate

      Tried connecting new motor directly to batteries, works perfectly.

      Replaced switch, still does not operate.

      With the wires connected to motor, voltage at the batteries does not drop during attempted operation, but wires on motor end lose voltage when switch is operated in either up or down position.

      My question:  Is there a relay or anything else in this circuit that would cause the load side of the circuit at the motor to lose voltage, but maintain voltage at the batteries/line side of the switch?

      Thanks in advance.
