HH90 Problems!!!:(

Hello fellow FTAers. I have been dealing with problems with my HH90 motor since I bought it a year ago and would like some feedback from all of you that may have a similar experience. First my setup: Fortec Lifetime Ultra, orig, factory software(their latest version) less then 75 feet of RG6 cable with gold plated connectors with weather shields, fortec 80cm dish, Fortec universal lnbf, no switches installed and a Stabb HH90 motor. The problem, the motor will turn the dish to the right sat, but then it will return to reference or true south sat position, then back to the right sat location, then back again to ref. position.... my dish looks like a room fan moving back and forth. Sometimes, if the sat is close the the one it is on, will move without a problem, but sometimes it will not and will do the back and forth routine. I brought this problem to the attention of Stabb, and they forwarded my emails to Fortec and asked me to contact them directly. I did, and their solution was to send me a new circuit to replace the one that was in the motor. I replaced the old for the new, but the problems persist. I reran a new cable to see if that was the problem, and it was not. I have checked all of my connectors and they are all sound with no damage or weather entry. What is going on here?!?!?!? This is really driving me bonkers and I am ready to through it in the garbage. I am proud of my self being able to set up the darn motor system, which is in pretty good alignment(from PAS-9 58W to G10R at 123W with pretty decent quailty through the arc) but this problem with the motor is the rain on my parade. Any ideas????
