[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 890772, member: 369937"] I have had this happen to several customers and to myself as well. Usually after a main electrical service outage, something like a spike got through to the receiver, and when it comes back online sometimes it thinks it's fresh out of the box, or one of the unused satellites to the East of you has had the motor settings enabled, this causes the motor (if one is connected) to go to 180E, or full East depending on the glitch, this is OK if you live in the far East. How to fix it (if the internal motor controller is not damaged) is to [U]manually[/U] move the motor to it's zero or due South position, (using the switch on the motor) then disconnect it from the receiver, then you have to check everyone of your satellites you have stored in the receivers memory, making sure that something has not changed in their settings, and make sure that all satellites that are further East from you have the motor settings disabled. Once this is done, set the receiver to the due South satellite, shut it down and reconnect it to the motor, have someone turn the receiver on and watch the motor, if it starts to move then shut the receiver off ASAP as something has glitched the motors internal controller and you may have to do a full reset at the motor.
