I don't know that we have a wiring diagram for HiLos in the 1971 time frame. However, this thread: https://www.hilotrailerforum.com/f51/1986-electrical-hydraulics-3612/ has pictures and a description...

Jennjohn - have you tried the manual lowering valve? Can you release the safety bar? What wires are you talking about? The motor is only used to raise the top, if it runs, can you tell if it lifts...

Bud, that was Jim's advice on the silver nut. (Adjusts system pressure. I'd leave the screw alone.)

Jim seems familiar with your system. Do what he says.

Thanks, Jim - What you posted makes perfect sense. I looked at that thing and thought it was a capacitor (which doesn't really make any sense now that I think of it). And, I agree with your labeling...

As I said, I was guessing.

If it's truly the solenoid, it should be delivering battery power directly to the lift motor to make the top go up. But, I don't see how it has any part in lowering the...

Bud, your lift pump is so different from mine, that I can only guess. The yellow wire, you speak of though, seems a likely 12V feed to lower the top. That silver thing it connects to on the floor...

You didn't say if you have the 3-position Master Switch in your trailer. (I incorrectly called it a "safety switch" in my first post.) If it's not in the raise/lower position, it won't go down. Do...

Thanks, Rich - I wouldn't exactly call that a solenoid, it's just an electrically operated valve. But, for Bud - this could well be your problem. If you can see wiring to it, you could "fake" the...

Bud, I don't think the solenoid comes into play at all for lowering.

Do you have the 3-position safety switch? Is it in the "Raise/Lower" position? If the safety bar is disengaged, that would be...
