Is your battery fully charged?

Is your battery fully charged? What problems are you having? For it to shift the motor has to be running and the L/U filled with premium or type "C" oil made for electric shifts.

Problem corrected. I was getti

Problem corrected. I was getting a voltage drop below 12 volts and it was not enough to make the coils work. Meter was showing 12 volts go figure.
When i applied 12 volts from my battery directly to the coils from the clips it worked and then i just when back to the 12 volt supply from the key switch and found the problem was a bad connection on the 12 volt supply to the selector switch. thanks
