Is the switch just right of the e-stop your fwd/off/rev switch?
 
Yep thats fwd n rev. All of the legend plates on automation direct were backwards like the original switch. So i opted for a blank that I could fill in myself.

Yea, I hear you. I had to flip the legend plate on my switch after I re-wired it so I could just write a 'F' and 'R' on there with a marker. :)

You won't regret getting the lift. One of the best purchases I ever made. Mike
 
Thanks! The picture was taken at work they upgraded me to a 15k. So I bought the old lift from the company who does the installs for $500 Its now broken down on a trailer. Need to build a shop big enough to put it in.. Wasn't going to let that deal go to waste.

Nice. I have an Ammco 10k pound two-post lift in my shop and I love it. I too need a bigger shop though.:(

Vfd controller mounted, wired, and programmed. The programming was a headache but after a couple hours of reading, head scratching, and cursing before the light bulb moment i got it all working. Only thing I'm curious about is my led lights are very dim. 24v + going to terminal 1 ground to terminal 2. Not sure if I reversed polarity that would make them brighter, or not work at all? The lights are led 22mm units from automation direct.

I think you wired them correctly. They are normally pretty bright. Two posibilities that I can see, maybe you ordered the 120V LEDs by mistake, or your 24V supply is not big enough to power the LEDs. What are you using for a 24V supply?

Pretty sure i ordered 24v leds. But ill check the invoice. The power source is the 500ma 24volt positive logic supply from vfd which is a danfoss fc51

Edit: there are only 2 led's . pwr on indicator, and estop. I can turn one off and the other does not get brighter if that helps
