Me and my Friend Tried to test and Fix my Packard's leveling motor and it burns fuses all the time and the thing is not the motor it self but the levelizer what the motor tries to turn is locked harder than Fort Knox so I was wondering is it anyway possible to pry it free without taking it out from the car and I accidentally broke wires of that sensor what goes in the motor what has 2 wires so do I need to try to fix that too with some stupid srews or can I get a new one somewhere It I broke the wires because I try to find spot where i can turn it with srews driver but it didn´t really helped reason for that was a stupid ideas because We tried to get it working in garage whole night from 11pm to 8:30 sorry if writing is not easy to read because I haven´t sleep in like 40+ hours now

Ok... get some sleep...

The terminals on the motors must be powered only ONE at a time. It is grounded through the case.

The motor is actually powerful enough to severely damage the suspension if you spin it too far up or down, so I don't know what it could be binding on. I would remove the motor assembly and control box from the car so they can be bench tested and repaired if needed.

Be sure to follow the service manual instructions on how to remove these items. The suspension has stored energy in the torsion bars.

Also I just bought a few spare torsion level motors. Once we figure out what is wrong, I could sell you a refurbished one if needed.
