Ok, but I still need more information in order to effectively help you. Can you please give me some details of how your problem started (replacing cables, removed motor, etc) so that I can better understand your situation? The more you tell me the better I will be able to help you.

Did you disconnect the cables from the control box? not sure what you mean by "replacing cables off motor". It's going to be difficult to help you if you don't want to explain the situation better. Remember, I know nothing of your situation and what you have done so far. I know I can help but you need to give me more to go on.
