I'm currently in Vemynal using Darknut's Greater Dwemer Ruins mod. In the core area right before going down into the Dagoth tunnel, I was able to circumvent one of the problems by having a good athletics score. I want to know how it is done normally though.

In this room, a large gear system splits the room in half. On the side you enter, there are two panels with lights. On each, the center button is the only button, and both show as red. One of the two operates a lift that goes to the other side, and is not actually a button but a crank wheel that says it is jammed because it hasn't been used in a long time. The other shocks me when I try to press it like all the red labeled switches do.

What am I missing in order to get this going? I can load up and get exact names if this isn't clear enough.

Thanks!
