Late to the game, but have you pulled the motor off yet? I believe its just 3 bolts (don't loose the spacers). The motor is easy to test. Just jumper the two wire connector to a 12V battery. Doesn't matter which is positive and negative. One way will run the motor in one direction and the other will run it in the other direction. Just use some alligator clips to hook up to a 12V battery.
As for the controller, the one I bought off of Amazon came with the other half of the 4 pin connector which made it easy to test the existing controller. Just apply 12V and/or ground according to the troublelshooting manual.
I bought a controller off of Amazon and found that the override function did perform correctly. It retracted the steps when the engine was started but did not extend when I opened the door. Anyway, just make sure you thoroughly test after installation.
