Winegard Dish won't park

I got the dish up and found the power supply was unplugged when I was installing the new TV. I pushed the on button and up the dish went, then hit search and away it went looking.

I did not understand I needed to look for the channel from the dish box, so today I found that the dish works just fine, having some problems finding a satellite signal, but then it is 40 mph winds with gusts to 70 in Lake Powell right now.

However the dish will not park, have not been able to get it to go down. Downloaded the manual and checked the voltage at recommended spots, all fine, checked for blockage, seems like the control panel does not lite up well enough.

I would like for now just to park the dish and figure it out later, I went up top and it does not want to fold down with moderate force. I can not see a latch or check solenoid so if anybody has had some experience let me know.

I may just take it off if I can't get it to park.

PS TV great, standard winegard antenna gets HD and standard stations really well. Goes into old switch box both cable and Air seems to come out HD quality.
