Intial test moved dish about 8-10 degrees, then stopped. Now I have blinking orange light and nothing else.
I would have preferred to hook the ground block before the 4X switch.
Do I have the 4X switch wired proper?
How are the tone bursts A + B used? I haven't touched them yet.
Where do I go from here?

I assume you're talking about a
diseqC switch.
You should have the coax go directly from the receiver to the motor. It may or may not work the way you have it, or may work some times and not others.
Tone burst A&B are used for some simplified 2 port switches. I have one of these and it's worked great for about 5 years. I've been through several 4 port regular diseqC switches, and they are all kind of flakey. Most switches will take either A or "1" as equivalent, and B or "2" as equivalent. Ie they do both regular and tone burst.
