Dad's "new" chair lost one direction (down, I think) Carol worked around it by hooking up the remote from another chair. Some of the buttons were funny, but it works. I couldn't see anything obviously wrong with the remote, but found a replacement at a reasonable price, so I got it. But the new one acts the same as the old one, so it looks like the problem is not the remote itself, but the control box in the chair. So the borrowed remote is back in place, and I've taken the control box to repair or replace. Blaine
Thanks for trouble shooting that!

Dad has taught y'all well! Have you tried contacting the manufacturer? Sometimes they can be very helpful, even out of warranty. I'm sure you've thought of it but just in case not On Sat, May 20, 2017 at 2:03 PM Ann Fouts <ann.fouts@gmail.com> wrote:

Oh no! The chairs not too helpful if you can't actually sit in the chair cause it won't go down. Thank you!

The bad thing was it quit working in the night. Dad was stuck in the chair with the foot rest all the way extended and the back all the way reclined. He was not happy. It was quite a challenge to get him out of the chair from that position. Dad was happy when the rescue was successful. On May 20, 2017, at 2:57 PM, Barb Gmail <bakerclan6@gmail.com> wrote: Oh no!

Oh dear, did a connection pull loose? I've got a short control extension cable on the way, along with a new control box.
