The connector circled yellow is the one that was off on mine, as detailed in the link I posted.

Has your CSOV got a nut on the top??
If so I would be tempted to remove it , allowing you to lift the arm and work in some oil/ WD40.

PS.
A bit more background….
When mine was stuck and I got R.P., I called LR Assist.
He just squirted it with WD 40 but it didn’t free so he booked it in with my supplying MD, so when they got it they replaced the complete unit and it has been fine ever since.

Was just about to say, after studying on a big screen rather than my phone, realized its the same connector ( mine being plugged in )

Yeah its old style, so assuming weather holds out tomorrow, ill get some contact cleaner on that connector, and then loosen the nut and give it a good old spray
