I think D. Drake is correct.

Also as he mentioned the outdoor connector is sensitive moisture and it
would be the first thing to check. The rubber boot does little to stop
ingress. When I had G-2800DXA rotators I sealed the boot with silicone
sealant.

Pins 1, 2 and 3 go to the 500 ohm position pot
with pin 2 being the wiper. Also pin 3 is
grounded at the rotor. So my measured resistance
from pin 1 to 3 was 506 ohms. Pin 1 to 2 was 288
ohms and pin 2 to 3 was 221 ohms with the rotor at
45 degrees at the full CCW position pin 1-2 was
502 ohms and at the CW stop pin 1-2 was 70 ohms.
Pins 4 and 5 go to the motor and with the rotor
not at a mechanical stop the resistance was 12
ohms
Hmmmm. That's exactly the opposite of the schematic I remember seeing
online, as well as opposite of their smaller rotator (GXE1000?). Pins 1
and 2 are the motor, 3, 4, and 5 is the position pot.
