Is this a job I can tackle myself early spring before I dip her? What’s the most likely cause? I’d hate downtime at the start of the season.
Thx Rick

It's definitely the Flux capacitor on the left tab.

Electric or Hydraulic tabs?
Are you hearing any noise when you move the switch?
Do they both not move or just one?
Yes check breakers and loose wires.
Pretty simple system really...we just need more info to diagnose.

Hey Ourlee, did you ever determine the cause? Get them fixed? Are they Bennett tabs?
