That is not the problem. It was certainly the first thing I looked at. I
think I need to try to find the schematic of the wiring of this thing.
Obviously 2 of the 4 wires are + and -, the other 2, well, perhaps one of
them has come loose in the connector at the rotor.....or, for the second
time lightning has taken it out.

Hi Bob, and group,
Three times in, say the last 10 years, I was asked to look at a rotor
problem that had an unusual and unexpected cause...2, using the Yaesu
Rotors. Yours might not be this, but be sure to check that the coax loop
between the tower support, wherever you have it secured, and the rotating
antenna has not sneaked about and found the protruding end of the U-Bolt
clamps that hold the mast to the rotor. Twice I have found the loop to be
hard snagged to the U-Bolt end.
Best,
