OK so maybe they were not open all the way. :)
I talked to a tech at HWH today and he said they should open about 5-6 turns. So I opened them further and the jacks retracted. But now the motor is not working. I assume I ran it to long and fried it. I tested it at the terminals on the motor relays and I get 12.5 volts to it when someone hits the switch. So now I am in the hole even more that when I started.
You did not burn up the motor. IF it is fried, it is because it reached its long term operational limit. You can jump to 2 large terminals on the solenoid with a heavy gauge screwdriver. Bypassing the internal touchpad. IF the motor fails to run and you get heavy arcing, your motor is fried. It is held on with 2 screws. Remove and take to a local starter/alternator rebuild shop for them to rebuild it. Doug
