You would have to disassemble the switch box and modify the internal switch wiring... | |

There was an "installed by" label on the frame, but when I called, they only take the parts and build it, they don't get into the circuitry or anything. So after the power source, I'm not quite sure which wire is what. | |

| Mar 21, 2017 at 11:35 | comment | added | JayGross2209 | Bruce, yes there is a handheld controller with UP and DOWN momentary switch buttons. Inside the controller are 4 wires in this order, BLACK-WHITE-BROWN-RED. These wires are connected to screw terminals. When any of these single wires are removed, nothing operates. These same wires are also accessed from the small junction box connected to the motor. | |
