Default linear actuator

Long time since I've posted but I need some help.
I have a HTS (Houston Tracking System) linear actuator off of a C-ban
satallite dish. It has 6 wires coming out of it; 2 large (~16 ga.)
[red and white] and 4 smaller wires [od green, green, yellow and bare]
I'm pretty sure that the red and white are the power leads and the
others are sensor wires. I also think that it is 24 volts dc, here is
where I have been having problems; I can get the actuator to move in
only one direction no matter which wires I use for positive and
negitive. Is there a couple of the other wires that need to be dealt
with in order to make this motor turn in the oppsite direction? Any
help would be appreciated.

Mike
