If you pop the cover off your actuator (where the wires go in), there should be a nut or slot that you can insert a tool to manually crank the dish back the other direction. You might manually turn it back aways so that you can swap the wires and ensure that it's really trying to move the same direction regardless of which wire you have on the positive side of your battery (i.e. it might seem that it's trying to move in the same direction simply because it can't move at all).
If it appears to be physically difficult to manually move in one direction or the other, then you may look at lubrication/grease to fix it. If not, then you'll either need to tear the actuator electronics apart and figure out which part was blown, or possibly replace either the actuator or just the motor. I know that I've seen advertised replacement motors (without the actual arm) that seemed pretty reasonable in price.

All right will check those things out.Thank you for the suggestions
Any suggestions to what complete acuator at this store i should get.I have a 10 foot Unimesh Dish nIll work on this one on my spare time.I want to get up and running again.I have a superjack II
If you want to save some money, you could probably get away with just replacing the motor part with this:
HOAL-2418-Motor_replacement_for_actuator
Otherwise you'll at least this big of an actuator to move your 10' dish:
HARL-3624 TD-24 24" 36V Moteck Super Power Jack Actuator
And if you're in an area susceptible to heavy wind and/or snow, then you'll want something more heavy-duty like this:
QARL-3624 HV-24 24" Stroke 36V Motech Heavy Duty Actuators

The c panel you wanted me to look at didn't come threw
How does th earm match up with the receiver or vice versa I reset the dish half way but the receiver is reading G1 How do i reset that?or does it reset itself
It doesn't reset itself. The actuator has no "smarts" to know where it's at. All it knows is how many clicks/turns it has made in a particular direction.
If you have your receiver set at G10, you may disconnect your voltage lines (the two motor lines connected to M1 and M2) and use a battery (or manually crank it) to move the dish to G10. If you have no other tools available to you to help you determine if you're in the right place, you may turn your receiver on and watch the signal meter to see when you have manually moved the arm into the right position. When you're @ G10, connect the M1 and M2 lines and (if nothing else changed), you should be set to go.
If you're replacing the arm with another arm (or motor), it gets more difficult since each motor has its own # of turns per inch of actuator arm (okay, many are the same, but there's not guarantee that you'll be able to pick out the appropriate one to replace yours). In that case, you'll have to read your user's manual to determine how to reset your satellite positions in the receiver.
