one of the first thing I would do would be to reconnect the height limit switch and check the wiring and operation of that switch. I don't know how it was designed in your unit, but if I was designing that circuit, I would have "failed open circuit" switch and wire to be the safer default of not going fast if failed open, rather than slowing down ONLY when switch and circuit are closed.
