Got it, Jerry ! I put jumpers where both end sensors were, and there was only one pin on the mode switch that checked continuity to the System control Micro-p. I aligned the mode switch to the matching arrows, and the only pins making contact with the micro pin was the one right next to it. I put a jumper across them two pins, and now the set stays on. Thanks so much for your help,.....you guys made me $50 on this deal ! ;-) LLW LeRoy Westlund Westlund TV & Electronics 97 North Main " I forgot,..to remember,..
