    Please wait equipment not ready???softgloss max5

    I’m still going with issue at a prox switch. Check at treddle plate might need tighten or adjust for proper reading. Same with home prox switch. Sounds like intermittent reading of switch. Also make sure relays at ACW are not loose.

    I’m $4/5 min on wash. $2/6 min on vac. Credit or cash credit counts up. Plus we take dollar coins, quarters and bills.

    High pressure blowing fuses

    Thanks …. Issue was the diode (bridge) . upon closer examination this proprietary markvii part had swollen a bit, it’s basically diode with leads sealed in plastic. Now just to figure out if it just aged out or if there’s a root cause.

    Mark Vii Choice Exit Limit switch question

    Sounds like a prox switch issue. Prob reading front and back at same time. Entrance end prox switch should only light if unit is near very end of track (nearest entrance)

    How to verify income with NO paperwork

    U can stake out the place at random times to get a sense of business. Though quite frankly….no financials….i’d start at making offer based on land value……and maybe allow some for equipment depending on age. Guy likely reported low numbers to cash out under table. That’s illegal. Plus when...

    PDQ M5 unit, Access unit says enter wash, but wash does on turn on.

    I had a similar issue on my markvii touchless. It was a loose prox switch on the treadle plate. it was annoying as it was infrequent and hard to figure out. Depending how the vehicle pulled on the treadle it sometimes didn’t make contact.… …....good luck….and please share the fix!!!
