It sounds as if all (except brake lights) is good upstairs.

The brake lights and dash switch voltage at the same time will have to be sorted out but for now, the voltage on the green leads is a good thing. Voltage on both sides is correct when the switch is on. The next step is under the car so make sure the suspension is off or the 30A fuse is disconnected when raising the car.

You will have to verify that the position of the transverse bars are as shown in figure 21 of suspension section. Passenger side to rear of compensator, drivers side on front. Also see if anything is disconnected or if any wiring looks as if it could be shorted to the frame.

If something caused the transverse bars to rotate to the opposite sides, the compensator switch will be confused. It will try to do whatever is needed to level the car but with the bars on reversed sides, while it thinks it is going the correct direction, the action will be opposite to what is needed. It could also have driven around until a limit switch is activated.

If the bars look good then the compensator switch and limit switches will have to be checked.
