great, thanks! do you know how many batteries it takes? all i have is 2 wires coming off the charger with nothing attached.
Also, i found another issue... there is a bad connection somewhere in the pannel, the lights behind the "wind to code" and "optional stop" buttons dont come on sometimes, and it wont let me enter data in mdi at all when that happens, almost like the keypad goes out as well. I wiggled something in the back and it turned on for a second and everything worked, then it went out again and i cant trace it down because the lights wont go back on. i'm in the process of checking everything now.
EDIT: found the issue, broken wire! fixed. why would anyone use solid core wire in a control like that??
