Hmm .. well
a) I have checked and have continuity between the earth lug on the coil and pin 7 on J126.
b) I tested Q34 and it seems OK ?? Base reads .737V , collector is a short , emitter reads .471V . I compared this to the adjacent transistor Q42 ?? same type and similar readings .
I tested with DMM set to diode function, black lead on metal tab , red lead on a leg
What do I do next ??
To prove its not the Q34 could I swap the earth wires between the up and down coils ?? (ie in ramp test , ramp would go up when it should go down and vice versa ) ?? If I can safely do this , and ramp does not go down then I would replace Q34
