Troy,
a bit more information would be helpful.
Are they being operated with a separate power supply?
Is the voltage correct?
Have you had problems with them before?
What type of switches?
All your switches or just one or two?
Is it a problem with the remote actuator(s) or the switch itself?

more importantly dave, what type of switches. O tubular can be powered from a separate source, O27 not so much

All fixed now! Thanks Dave! I posted this before I wired them with the voltage. Chat?
