Same issue with XUV625i

I used information on this forum to guide me through the resolution of the same problem with an XUV625i. At first, I thought the issue was the dash panel switch. I hunted a replacement on Ebay; replacing the switch did not change things. I then hunted the solenoids mentioned in the thread. I pulled both of them, one at a time, and cleaned them with electrical contact cleaner. That did not resolve the issue. I then tried swapping them, and when I hit down, the bed lowered, but I did not remove my finger from the switch quick enough, and now the bed is down but I cannot elevate it!. I went on several websites before breaking down and calling my dealer. The part is listed as a relay, AT75769. I have one replacement and two spares en-route. So now I have to crawl under the gator, and try to either access the relays (when the dealer installed the lift kit, the relays were tied with wire ties to the wire bundles, not attached to the frame) by feel, OR, if I can reach it, I will pull the pin from the dump kit hydraulic rod end that ties the bed, so that I can get the bed up and access the relays. Something that concerns me about many of the JD XUV625i electrical connections, is that there is absolutely no protection from splashing. I do plan to use electrical tape and seal those and all other connections I can locate.
