just a little update.
i took all the arm apart of the offending gate.
what i found is that 2 of the bolts that go right thro were loose and i also took apart the little mechanical stop plungers underneath. when i opened these i found they were all damp inside, i dried the bodies ok but not sure if any water has got inside little electrical switch.
when i put it the motor all back together and activated them for the first time they opened this time but would not shut !! so it is now doing the oposite to what it was doing before !!
could it be the switches playing up as that is only the real thing that i have messed about with.
one of the electrical switches body had turned white a little as if something maybe had burnt.
anymore help much appreciated.
thanks
