Window blinds motor
Hello hope you all are doing great. I seem to have a issue with one of my window motors where it lost its programming when to stop either direction. Upon further inspection I see both black and yellow buttons on the side are pushed in and do not release motor just keeps going and does not stop either direction. Any ideas?

Disconnect the power then push on the buttons a couple of times, some what aggressively but not to crazy and they usually will release.

Ok I’ll try that in to morning thanks. Would you know what the programming procedure is?

Black button controls one direction, Yellow controls other direction. Direction is determined by how the wires were connected. For example: If yellow is up direction and you change the wires, then yellow becomes down.
Having said that: Once the direction of the buttons are determined, press the down button in until it clicks/locks in. Push you shade control button on your coach panel, the blind will start going down. When the shade reaches the bottom (where you want it to stop) push the button on the shade to release it (it will or should pop out), you bottom travel is now set. Do the opposite with other color button on the shade motor to set the top limit.
Where the problem comes in, is as the blind motor ages the set buttons tend to stick in and not pop out when you want to set the up or down position. Most of the time if you play with it enough you can get it to work.
