Update, Like Ross suggested I shorted the one side and then pushed the t bar until the motor stopped. This worked the motor stopped. I then dropped the car on the ground and switched the motor on, it turned and level for about 3 seconds or so and shut off. I then tested the power to the solenoids from the starter and there was none. The fuse was blown again. The fuse blows everytime the car levels and shuts off. I know this because it ran for 8-10 sec when I shorted it under the car and the fuse was ok. When leveling on the ground it was no more than 3. second, the fuse was completely black like it exploded on the inside like it was dead shorted and blew, not overheated

So it seams like it dead shorts when the car is level and disengages, where would I start to figure out the dead short? Compensator box?

Just out of curiosity does it matter if the tail lights are hooked up? Mine are not and was curious if this could cause a short?

Thanks
