With MD1 on the 18V grip (no body), turn switch to single, hold release
button down and short 2 contacts together with tip of screwdriver or
something else metallic. Motor should run but this may be a way to
reset mechanical switch inside. If it runs, put back on body and try.
If not give close inspection to contacts up inside the grip. If plastic
around contacts is melted, it would need service.
MD2 is too problematic in my experience. The simplicity of MD1 makes
it a better starting point.

Both bodies work fine with Winder 1 and 2 units (and yes I removed the cap)
Fresh Duracell AAs it’s 70 degrees and sunny so not cold batt problem
There are two contacts at the top of the battery holder reading 18V (1.5v x 12)
