I might show up on Saturday AM. I have a gig in Cleveland that weekend, and won't be far away. Is Sat AM a good time to see cars/do the meet n' greet?

Don't adjust anything until you have all of the front end sheet metal, bumpers and trim back on the car--you will just be spinning your wheels and have to re-do everything.

For this kind of diagnostic work I don't like using a digital voltmeter--I much prefer a test light or analogue volt meter. The digital meter flits around a lot before settling on the voltage it indicates. The analogue meter makes a nice sweep upward to the voltage. For simple power/no power tests the light is just fine.

running that ground wire won't accomplish anything--the control box down on the frame sends a ground to the solenoids when it calls for a change in riding height (= engages the T/L motor). The solenoids would work just hanging on their own wiring in mid-air if everything was OK.
Take a ground wire and touch each control terminal on the solenoids, briefly--and see if there is any action. If not check the power at the buss bar that feeds both solenoids. That much is easy to check, and easy to diagnose and repair. If you perform this check and you get T/L motor action, it's time to look at the control box. Do the above test and we'll get into the control box later.

Randy--the Dorfan tape measure club was a Ward Kimball invention I think. Ward was a hoot!
