This could be the issue, especially if you have had the doors open recently .. :whistling:

If it's not the micro switches then I would look at the NVR switch, that's the on off switch to is mere mortals..:wink:

It sounds like it could be that as that's the only thing you used prior to trying it again. I had the stop button stick in, tap the side of the switch and it may resolve the problem if it is that.

Hope this helps..

Micro switches are so cheap it would not take much to get and fit one, try Maplins
