the two fuses in the fuse box its labeled retra
motor take the two fuses out, then look by the head light in the engine bay ,a black plastic cover you can take off so you can twist the **** on the motor to retract it yourself

its easy you ahve to cut the rotating arm that is attached to the motor and the arm that moves the bucket...or you can do like me and use a slider and bracket to allow the motor to make a full stroke yet only move the bucket so far...with the bracket and slider (looks like the ingalls camber kit for our cars...same idea) there is infinate heaght adjustability
