Expert Reply:
It sounds to me like the sensors are bad. To check for a bad sensor, disconnect the sensor and check for continuity with a multimeter like # PT89ZR. The sensor is normally a closed switch and should have continuity without the magnet present and should not have continuity when the magnet is placed near the sensor. Replacement sensors would have to be acquired directly from Aries.
