I am with you guys - I am not the average homeowner. I have an enormous amount of experience and I tried to hire the local guy but he refused.

i don't want to try to argue credentials or qualifications. I understand I am on my own safety-wise and whatnot but I am looking for some suggestions or recommendations

I have checked the voltage leading to the contactor on port 13 and 14 for the brake. I have power on the brake - before the contactor is engaged 107 volts. When I engaged the elevator I saw it drop to 70v. I checked the resistance of the brake and it came out at .3 ohms.

I tried to operate the elevator today and the contactor engages and it starts I see the the output on the VFD move up and then it showed FLU then .1 .3 .5 .4 1.6 then dCb and then back to rdY. when I go down FLU 0.0 .1 rUn rdY.
