Did you ever resolve this problem? I have a similar problem - 2 new BFT motors (and capacitors) installed onto an existing Rigel 5 control board, one side is fine, the other only moves in one direction on both open & close cycles. That direction is reversed if cables reversed.

Hello! Have you managed to solve the problem? I seem to have the same issue that it can both close but Motor 2 terminals does not open. A new capacitor does not help. Switching the hydraulic arms simply switch the sides (ie the hydraulic arms are working).
Many thanks.
