check the wires termination on the pot, make sure the circuit isnt across the resistor circuit instead of being on the resistor and wiper like its supposed to be. If wired incorrectly it will read wrong. I also know its tight in that area so while checking the wires make sure none are touching each other....
They should be insulated with heatshrink though.
I can tell you this though, if you dropped out of learn mode in the middle of programming you did fubar it up a little bit and it will be a pain to get it back to the normal spot without using the analog test mode to monitor voltage while aligning it.

good luck!
