When I lower the low E, as soon as the lower end plate begins to lower (move) the raise goes with it. Any ideas?

Yes; unhook the raise spring from the bracket on the bottom of the guitar.
That's the long flimsy spring right up against the body...(raise spring) and you can just unhook it from the bracket.

| I had that problem and found the finger was hung up on the spring. Ricky probably has a handle on it but thought that this could be it too. |

Yes Craig speaks of a good point...and there is actually several different things that can be going on...Hard to tell without looking at it...>as it depends on which changer it is as there were several different mechanisms throughout the years and you weren't too specific....>so that was my non specific answer..ah..ha.
One of the changers(later) has a problem to where as the string lowers and the lower spring stretches along the bottom plate; it can run into the little bottom piece of the raise section and start moving it.
Another one of the changers is if you don't have the rods perfectly in line for the pull...than the finger can get pulled a little off it's line and bind with another.
Another one of the changers is there is a folcrom piece that will bind.
Another one of the changers is there is NO raise spring at all and if that raise portion is still moving...than it's because there is either dirt/gunk between the two sleeves of the raise and lower portion or they are slightly bent and binding on each other..
.....oh and it goes on from there....but as you can see....this was my non specific answer.....and I would need more details to isolate exactly what can and is going on.
So look at some of those problems if my first solution doesn't fix.
Have fun.
