Potain T85 Remote not connecting to crane

At start up, remote does not connect to crane.  K320 relay (horn relay) just clicks.

Remove J12/5 24VDC yellow wire from U230X

Remove A1 24VDC Pink and Grey wires from K100A

Jumper J12/5 to A1

Restart Crane

 

This takes the KK plug and its connections out of the circuit.

Potain 27148 Encoder and fan on top of drive

Swing drive was getting encoder and fan error.  I tried to turn the encoder off but it didn’t work.  You are supposed to be able to just turn it off.  I then replaced encoder and cleared errors.
