Surfgate malfunction

[Mcclintock247]

The port surfgate on my 2020 Axis A24 extended when we put the boat in the water this weekend. I could not get it to retract. I tried recalibrating  several times and cycling the batteries on and off. Recalibrating had no effect and each time I cycled the power the gate would retract for a second then extend. I could extend both gates by entering service mode, but then couldn’t get out of service mode without cycling the power which resulted in the port gate extending again. I trailered the boat, bled the actuator and pushed the gate in manually, but as soon as I turned power back on the gate extended.

after running calibrate and tgen SG service,  did you try just turning ignition to off position?

when i have a problem and after calibrate snd service if i dont just  turn off ignition the fault comes back on end of next pass, if i do it doesn't re-occur

Check the SG harness assembly against the hull for improper connection or loose wires. How would I know this?  😖

It may look fine, but the wires may not be pressed and locked into either end of the harness heads.
