Any time either the pink or the yellow wire is grounded the unit will operate. There is nothing wrong there.

As a test of your limit switch, ground one of those wires. As the motor drives the gearbox around, poke the "t-bar" on the limit switch in the direction it would go if the arm on the gearbox were to hit it. Watch your fingers!!!! The motor should stop at once. Try it again in the other direction by shorting the other wire. The t-bar is only the actuator lever for what's inside the little box in Howard's photo. It has no direct electrical action

Those limit switches are quite robust and I seldom have trouble with them. My impression is that yours is probably working OK. Chances are your troubles are inside that black control box with the three wires and little lever that is hooked to the torsion bar.
