Try GOTOing an object near the meridian. I assume you are in alt az mode otherwise you wouldn't be using the Declination/altitude motor for tracking.

If you are on the meridian or very close, the declination motor is not needed at all for tracking (that is if viewing due south the object is at its maximum height in the sky and not moving in altitude for a little while, till it moves farther west and starts "setting")
