Test the Salt like James said, the Salt level is still low so the amps will be low also. A dirty salt cell will also cause it to be low on the Salinity and Amperage but the Salt system should be on after you get the salt level up since you're in the 60's with
the water temp.
the water temp.
It's working but it's reading the salinity as low so it shuts off. You need to independently verify the salinity.
Their are lots of setting
And it is just being a pain to keep clean and I’m not in season yet ;(

You're getting two different salinity readings on positive vs negative polarity, which usually means that the cell is bad.
What are the first 4 of the cell serial number?

Yes with Temp and Salt level correct the system works automatically. Test the Salt level like JamesW said to verify the actual salinity and if it is more than a couple of hundred off I would clean the cell and then let the system check it after the cell is clean.
I would also check your free chlorine and add if needed since you are getting into a temp that algae grows well in.
I go to a menu and hit the down arrow, it counts down and it will change back and forth
I have downloaded the manual but does not show all this
You're changing polarity. The salinity should be the same +/- 100 ppm. The fact that it's off means that the cell is probably bad.
The first 4 of the serial number will give the age of the cell. For example, 3E13 means that the cell was made in 2013 (3rd and 4th digits are the year of manufacture.
Check cell type in Configuration. Go to Configuration, press < and > at the same time to unlock, press > until it shows salt system, then press + then > to get to cell type.

Shows the correct cell in the settings 9 cell etc
Shows off
Test salt
Shows chlorinate enabled
Here is serial etc

Like I said earlier, hit the Menu button to the Diagnostic menu, then hit the right arrow over and it will give you instant salt level

The Salt level to low will give you a false reading also.
Then Test the Salinity like JamesW said since it will also tell you if the cell could be dirty also.

The cell was made in 2010. You're probably going to need a new cell. I recommend that you get a T-15.
What salt reading does the strip correspond to?

Ok, you should get the salinity up to about 3200 and retry the system. Double check the salinity with a different test to be sure.
That means that the water temperature sensor is probably bad. It's easy to replace.

Great so I guess after all this I should order a new salt cell??? I mean if it really is 2010 it needs replacing either way good or bad right
I would get the salt right first and then see if the salinity is correct on both polarities.
Get a k-1766 salt test because it is the best test.
K-1766 Taylor Salt Test
I suspect that, based on the age and different salinity readings on different polarities, that you will probably need a new cell but let's confirm first.

Ok so why is their different polarities ??? Did not see a option for this beside just getting readings
