Hi SteveNZ,
Which wire did you remove from the motor? From which motor position (1, 2, 3, or 4)? Which level (A, B, C, D)? What color was the wire?
It may not be the motor but a coil or relay associated with the wire you removed. Trace that wire back on your schematic to see where it ends up. That would be a good start to try and identify the problem.
