ok, I was just looking at the exploded view, i see what your talking about, i could see over time if that spring gets week or starts to break its gonna slip, ill see if i can find the old discussion also. going to start at the switch in the remote and make sure of its function and go from there ill let you know what i find, i appreciate the help.
