One more question and I'll take a break... I promise.
I tried to convert the sofa from a sofa to a bed and I got it "down" ok but it would not return to the sofa position. This is one of the "electric" units and the motor that does the work kinda stalled. So I took it apart to see what I could see.
The motor was getting voltage and the switch would change between +12 and -12 VDC. The motor turns a flexible shaft to the lead screw that raises and lowers the sofa, but the motor would not turn "on". So I pulled the flexible shafts out of their "gear boxes" and manually raised the sofa to the "sofa position" and then reassembled the sofa.
Now I guess I need a new motor for the sofa.
Comments?
