Guys, great stuff, can't thank you enough. I will take pictures of the splice job, a real hack job but I checked the connection and its okay. You really can't see anything on the underneath side of the bridge, just the wire leads are exposed and they all go up into the tower, to the motor. I really appreciate all the efforts taken to help me fix it and I will try to do what was suggested. I will take photos and post what I find, thanks for all the great ideas. I am electrically challenged and literally know nothing about wiring or components.
The Leds do not work also.
I really think my best route is to bypass the mother board and just run it manually, this would be perfectly okay by me. Although when I do disassemble the tower I will look for problems and post what I find. Sounds like if the board isn't already bad it has a high likelihood of failing quickly.
What would I need to just reverse the polarity of the motor and use toggle switches to raise/lower it?
