sounds like a bad connection to the position sensor
or motor. check your wiring.

Thanks I thought that to there is real small lugs that the wires go to so I bypassed the lugs and connected the wires straight together no lugs still the same thing. Are the position sencers easy to go bad, its a new actuator
Is there anything else to check or try ?
Thanks

Does it move at all?

[charlieh88]

Yea it will move I have to hit enter to reset it and then it will move a bump then you have reached the dish limits so I hit reset and move again only the dish position still says 5000 and the limit points are still 5001 and 4999 so I dont have a clue how to fix it any Ideas ?
Thanks

Are you using the option menu?
opt 6
then 4 to the installation menu
1 ALLOW THE DISH TO MOVE
YES...
3 SET LIMITS

1 east limit < moves east

2 west limit > moves west

hope this helps

the wire for the switch on the motor wasn't in the termination block properly. he retraced all connections to solve the problem hope that clarifies things.
