PlatCEO : Sound like you have a bad SPA SIDE switch. It is probably shorting and turning in the spa mode. A quick test would be to disconnect it at the outside panel. It will be a wire with a 5 pi
PlatCEO : ...5 pin connector to the main circuit board. Disconnect it and see how your system responds. If it doesn't come on anymore - time to replace.
PlatCEO : Trust me - it might sound simple. But most repairs are!
PlatCEO : That item runs about $170-200 depending in the length of wire you need.
Customer :

You nailed it. I disconnected the spa side switch at the control unit. Started in auto mode and the spa came on immediately. Hit the reset button and that took care of the problem. Cleaner and pump came on as programmed in auto mode. Thanks.
