Something is hooked up wrong or the under dash switch is facing the wrong way. There must be no power to the the center green wire in the controller when the dash switch is off.

If the turnbuckle connecting the torsion bar to the controller is way out of adjustment or the rod is bent the controller will run the leveler to attempt to bring its lever to the neutral position regardless of the car's position.

Disconnect the rod at the controller and move its arm to the neutral position. Use your solenoids or work the controller to bring the car to level. Adjust the turnbuckle to suit and reassemble.


Alright Ross!!

First thing was I disconnected the turn bucket at the controller so I knew it was in the center position and checked that the dash switch was in the off position. Connected the battery and the back end dropped. I checked the green wire at the controller and it did not light my test light. I turned the switch to the on position and that green was hot when I tested it with the test light.

I did try to move the arm on the control box after the back end sank, but nothing happens

Does this prove my issue is with the control box? I do have other ones here I can try.

Also. The solenoids on the fender have rubber insulators that mount them to the inner fender. However, on the Caribbean they are bolted straight to the fender. Do they need to be ground through their mounting or not? Or does it not really matter? The rubber is cracking and falling apart
