Sorry bud, I am a certified RV tech. Did the school, so did my brother. We have not been able to move a schwintek yet and we replaced one today.

To explain why, it is the gear ratio's. These tiny motors don't have the guts so they use a 300:1 and a 500:1 gearing system. The theory is by unplugging the motors you will not be trying to "generate" power and thus they will spin. In reality, you are trying to spin something with a mechanical disadvantage. Once the motors are pulled out, they move easily. We continue to try this when we get the chance because we watch youtube and the "experts" also.
