That was it. I had tried it a second time per installation instructions. Tried a third time and there it went. Now I can continue the installation. There is another small mystery which can be solved later. When I go to fan 1 the fans jerk once but don't spin. Going to 2 3 and 4 they spin fine. If I go to e and then to 1 they continue to spin. Also if I start at 1 and flick the blades with my finger they run fine. Ill have to get out my VOM and check the supply voltage.
Makes me think of that cell phone ad. With Elecraft you are getting thousands of support people.
