Finally, some luck..

I don't really know the names of the parts but here goes..

where the 2 motor wire hook to two switches by long very slim bolts with a (plastic) separater between them.

(I've tried several times pushing the buttons prior with no change.)

I pulled the two sets of wires off of the switch and swap then hook to battery. Dish now moves east and not west.

I then pull the two switches (since getting dark) took inside and hook to a multimeter. The outer switch show no resistants and the inside switch did. So I slip the bolts off of them, and on each side of the plastic was a light film of oil. I went ahead and wipe that off of both, (since I didn't know if it was suppose to be and because I was going try to replace them)
I then decide to chech them again with the meter. They both check good!!
Maybe one of the switches was hung?! ( When you push on the switch there is no resistants (nothing on meter) let go and you do.

I put both back in, put cover on hook to battery and dish went east then west.

Hooked back up to vbox2 everything back to normal.

I tried to look up the switches with no luck in case I need to replace.

TM00502
3TM230A-4-W
15A,1/2HP,125.250VAC
0.25A,250VDC,0,50A,125VDC
CSA Ru
C & K Unimax USA

It has one white button for maybe limits, if push no current goes through.
One wire port says: NC
Missing port says: N0
Other Port says: com

Question: Should I set the limits with either the MercuryII or the vboxII?
And should I run it either to the east and or west to set vboxII back to zero?

Again thanks for the help.
