Hi guys, Thanks for the advice... I've tested it with 2 separate batteries, one which was from a rental house so I'm pretty sure it's the motor, not the power source. I don't know how to check the fuse in the motor. I think it's an Aaton motor. I got it in 2012 and it's been running like a dream since then but I've never had it serviced before, so it's likely high time. I'll check out those recommendations in LA. thanks!
