[DeTomaso] electrical help

That may be very bad advise. If the motor is on its way "up" the "up
switch" will turn it off. If you reverse the motor wires the motor will
insted go "down" and never be turned off.

Not to oversimplify things but based on your description of operation
all you need to do is reverse the two connections going to the lift
motor. All the relay does is reverse the polarity to the motor.
