I have another post in Antenna Reception that ended in my satisfaction but, this is just a new twist in my "cutting the cable," which I DID do.

It takes electric current and a lot of it to fry the motor. Your steel core cable would have substantially reduced your electric current.
I am not saying that this is the case, but I would suspect that your control unit was damaged before I would suspect a problem with your rotator motor.
Quite frankly, it seems to me that you would be well-served to follow the manufacturer's instructions. I suspect that you know that you screwed-up and have come here for emotional solace. Emotional solace is all good and fine. However, emotional solace will not give you a working rotator.
My recommendation is to redo your setup from scratch. Test the motor on the ground to ensure that the control unit and the motor are working properly. However, follow the manufacturer's instructions to the letter.
