Like I said on Baden Transportation, you are going to need to wait until I can get a Electrical Schema found. 
Now your Electrical Schema, can be viewed on FlickR at

MOD NOTE: Should probably be combined with Help Fixing '90 BB Micro topic.
CC on the Schema. We put a fresh battery in, so that can't be the problem. On the lift itself, it has a note that "the lift interlock jumper must be bypassed to immobilize the controls". Has this been done, and if so, how would I go about undoing it? I can't find any controls under the bus, even though that's where the control cable goes. Anyone have any advice for me on this part? Thanks. |

It sounds like the wires go to the Control Panel of the bus.
What probably that means is the Wires from the WheelChair Lift go under the bus to the Circuit Breaker Panel to the Switch.
Drawing Diagram...
much better! |

Allright... now, if the CB was popped, the Pilot wouldn't light, would it?
Hm. Where would I find the control and CB boxes under the bus? no luck so far... |

Your post has so many smiley faces and odd references that it has me confused out of my mind. |

Jake: I feel your pain.. :):):)
Cal Mc: Thought that might be it, where would it be? If the PB switch was bad, would the Pilot flash? I know when the PB is applied, the Dash light doesn't illuminate... |

Well, there should not be any Circuit Breaker Boxes under the bus, check your PDU (Power Distrubition Unit) for your fuses or circuit breakers for your chassis. A Circuit Brekaer is a Fast-Resetting type of overload or short circuit portector. Unlike a fuse, you can reset it faster and not have to get a new one.
True, if the Circuit Breaker was tripped, the Pilot Lamp would not illuminate (light), so that can not be it. Talk to a mechanic, but have you checked for shorts (can't be it, because the Pilot Lamp would not illuminate in that case). Talk with your Mechanic until I can think of some more "Should Help!" things. |

| okay, are you sure that all the motor has no short, all wires that are supposed to be connected to the motor are. if not, then thats why the light is glowing all the time. it could be a error light, or a light that tells you that there is power to the lift. read the instruction manual that comes with the lift, or add a electrical schema to FlickR so i can see it. |

As a note, I have NO manuals for this bus, lift or otherwise...
It's a Braun L219 or such... |

| I realize that our units are a little newer,but I just checked Micro-Birds in a 2001,2005,2007. There is a breaker inside the right frame rail at the stairwell location. |

| I think putting a circuit breaker is (1: a damage to any electrical equipment hazard. (2: when this breaker trips, you will need to crawl under the bus. (3: a shorting hazard. |
