My Satellite Setup
1.2m channel master on a jeager 1224 motor. 55cm fibo Gregorian. VU solo2.
My Location
S.Wales
I have added a wire from JP3 for the +5v, but when I connect to the fibo motor the vbox wont power up from standby.

If I remove the +5v wire from the motor the vbox then powers up, turns the motor, but then obviously stops because of the removed wire.

Its a Superjack vbox.

Any thing else I need to do?

If I' not mistaken,I think your site (gregorian-users.com) has step by step pictures for Vbox mods.
I know its in dutch,but if you use google you can translate it !

Does your circuitboard looks like this ?

On the right-side near the 2 bleu blocs (relais) are 2 resistors (R2 / R3 )

remove R3 and replace a wire instead .
