I was using a jumper box to turn the motor...I was trying to figure out where my wiring was messed up in the harness I made. However, I didn't by pass the limiting switches. Theres a way to do it off a battery box still using the limiting switches. To lock ground ground pin 2 apply 12v power to pin 5 and jump across pin 1 and 3. To unlock ground pin 1, apply 12v power to pin 5 and jump across jump across pin 2 and 4. This still incorporates the limiting switches I've done it this way plenty of times....Something just went crazy and a cloud of smoke went up the pigs tail to the motor like it was black powder or something. I have no idea why. What does that pigs tail go to in the motor housing...Some kind of circuit board or something. I hate electronics and I'm no good at them that why I haven't pulled the motor apart yet. I don't know if I'd every get it back together right.



OOPS yea, you are right, thats the way to do it. I was thinkin' of the results, that I've seen, when 12V is applied to pins 1 and 2. the motor will turn but won't stop. Sounds like you have a handle on how it works. If pic's, of the subassemblies, would help w/ dis/re-assembly PM me and I'll email 'em to ya.
