I found a Schwintek repair manual in some obscure place. It said move the slide out a few inches, then undo the screws on the outside of the frame. Then put a 2x4 on top of the slide. Push the IN button - the slide can't go in so the frame comes out!! There's the motor.
I pulled enough wipes and weatherstripping off on the inside that I could see the harness, connector and wires going to the motor. The harness and connector are fine but the blue and green wires are disconnected from the motor - they are the Hall effect sensor wires so of course the controller freaks.
I've emailed LCI to ask if I'll be able to reconnect the wires if I wrestle the motor out. Otherwise it's time for a new motor.
Who knows what caused two wires to suddenly detach.
The solder is extremely difficult to do. Just get a new motor. Doug
