Here is the complete schematic. If nothing has gone wrong before and caused the transverse link bars to be on the wrong sides of the compensator then grounding the pink wire at the control switch should raise it. If you cannot get to the pink wire then grounding the orange wire at the solenoid in the engine compt will do the same thing but use extreme caution if you do it there. If you ground the orange wire YOU BYPASS THE SAFETY AND WILL NOT HAVE A LIMIT SWITCH IN THE CIRCUIT TO STOP ANY DAMAGE FROM HAPPENING. It would be best if you can do any manual work from under the car so you can watch the compensator and see exactly what is happening.

If the solenoid etc are having issues you can disconnect the wires off the motor. The motor case is ground so if the battery is disconnected you could run jumper cables from the battery posts directly. One to the frame and the other touching against one of the motor terminals. To raise it should be the A terminal which held a red wire. AGAIN, NO SAFETY if doing that procedure so definitely watch what is happening to make sure the correct terminal is being energized.

Before doing any manual work verify the transverse bars are on the proper sides of the compensator per the birds eye photo. Sometimes a previous short or stuck solenoid will cause the motor to run past the limit and reverse the transverse bars. If that has happened hopefully the fuse blew before any damage but any correction by moving things manually if the bars are on the wrong sides will be opposite of what you want to happen.
