Janeil.

The dish motor has 4 terminals marked 1,2,3,4.

the dish and  A and B at the receiver. The light gauge green and shield are
connected to 4 at the dish and shield at the receiver motor sensor.The
orange and brown are both hooked up to 3 at the dish and to +5vdc at the
receiver.
>      My problem is the dish will only move manually and not to a preset or

an antenna error message on the screen if I attempt to go any further. I
cannot get

Dr.Dish:
I do not know your receiver, but letīs try it together:
Connect as follows:
Receiver        Color       Actuator
A               red             1
B               white           2
Sensor          green           Sensor (maybe 3)
Ground          Shield          4

Leave +5V, because this could be used for the polarizer or hall-actuator and
I believe your motor is a reed-type.
The whole ting should run by now. If the actuator goes in the wrong
direction, just exchange red against white on the receiver-side. If 3 or 4
is Ground, you have to check by yourself.
Good luck!
