Question
Gate will not budge though the VDS motor is turning, why?
A turning motor with a still gate means power is not reaching the leaf. Possible culprits are a manual release left open, a pinion whose teeth have worn away, a broken gearbox, or on a swing gate a loose arm connection. Confirm the release is locked and the way is clear. Otherwise our technician examines the drive train and reports which part needs replacing.
