Currently I have a problem to run a JS1.
All functions (flasher, cut-off) works but the rotators do not go back to the starting position.
If I stop the power the rotators stand at the last position.

Is it correct that the white wheel turns counterclockwise?
Because so the lever (with roll- red B) on the micro switch is pushed away (red arrow) instead of towards the switch (green arrow).

Been awhile since I played w my smart Jet. I can pull it out this weekend to take a look, remind myself how it functions, and see if I can offer any help.

Question, though- Did the JS1 have smart rotators as an option? My JS1 has front cut-off and has a flasher for stationary mounted lights, but not smart rotators. Same for my JC1. Only my later model J has the smart rotators. I'm not a Jet expert, so may very well be wrong, but always thought the smart rotators came after the initial JS series bars.

Label on the bar says JS series B.
Was a "zombie" lightbar, only rotators and the other hardware but no brain (circuit board or the correct wiring).
I renew the wiring completely from board to all relevant parts.
The only existing problem is the missing command to turn back the rotators to the starting position.
