Default Cleaning didn't work,it's almost like there is a stop sensor that is being activated...

I will get some torx drivers tomorrow and pull the motor.

Try using the hex key to open it the rest of the way then use the switch to close it and see if it travels the full distance, I'm pretty sure it operates on some type of distance counter

Default FIXED IT !!!

Took the motor out, ran the motor with out the roof hooked to it, cycled it through a couple times, then lubed up the counter and the shaft. re-installed and now it works again. I think the counter got stuck ,there was a bunch of crap around the counter.

Any chance of a write-up (with photos) for the FAQ?
