    disconnect motor from cable.may be easier to take cable off at box,then press and hold both east and west buttons on motor for 5 seconds,then reconnect motor leds1 and led2 blinkfor 5 seconds then the memory erased the receiver rewrites the satellite table to inital one andcorrects the "0"

    there should be a menu option on the spiderbox to reset the motor and remove any east/west limits
