A little more info on what do you mean by "correct" way.
I expect the rod link from torsion bar to control switch is still connected but without the body weight, the switch is energized and trying to lower. Depending on how it was left when parked, it might be at a limit but currently it certainly can't do much because with no body load, it should be driven to activating limit switch.
Disconnect the control switch to bar link and leave disconnected. Switch should spring return to center. Then look at limit switch and see if bar on switch is touching either of transverse link bars. If so, then limit sw is activated. If not then make sure limit switch is free to move either way about 1/4 inch and springs back to center. If all of those conditions are OK, then more electrical troubleshooting is needed.
