These kinds of problems can range from $500.00 to $1,500.00 depending on what parts need to be replaced and then the top will need to be programmed. Here is how the hydraulic cylinder is replaced in the images below. Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on.
