You're not done yet; the power generator gives an error message. To fix the power generator, follow the thick cable that leads to the back, where you'll find three handles. If you activate all three handles and try to start the power generator again, only line C triggers a green light, whereas the other two lines start flickering. This means you should use line C (the third handle) to power the construction elevator. In other words, the solution to the construction elevator puzzle in Silent Hill: Townfall is to pull the handle on the right, while the handles on the left and in the middle should remain upward.
