Robert -

IF the electrical components on your Carib are wired up correctly, you should be able to use a jumper wire to ground the solenoid terminal with the orange wire, which should spin the compensator motor in the UP direction.

After a few seconds of "wind up", you should notice the rear of the car coming up, and since the interconnected suspension pivots on its center of gravity, the front of the car will begin to come down - though much less, proportionally and alleviate the load on the upper jounce bumpers.

Yet, with so much weight presently removed from the front end, the rear may have to come up several inches above normal to make the car appear to be level.

Work carefully.
