If statement not being executed

Yes. I have tried crossing the wires and connecting it in order. Right now the arduino is powered off usb to my computer and the motor controller is powered through an AC-DC power supply that outputs 5V-2.1A. That should be an excessive amount of current for it to draw from but I also tried an AC-DC power supply that outputs 5V-550mA as the motor controller shouldn't be drawing more than than half that amount.

I thought I solved my problem last night when I found this helpful thread:

28BYJ-48 5-Volt Stepper

FYI - below is some Arduino code that demonstrates bidirectional operation of a 28BYJ-48 5-Volt stepper motor. It does not use the Arduino library partly because I wanted to get a bit more hands-on with the stepper to learn its operation and partly because the library isn't designed for this type of stepper and the pin assignments need to flipped around to work. Plus, I don't think that the library correctly addresses the eight codes required for this stepper and, instead, uses only four codes. …

However after reading through it and trying all the different suggestions and uploading any code listed or linked to I still got absolutely no movement.

I just tried moving the motor controller out of pins 8-11 to see if I did destroy those pins but still nothing on pins 3-6. When doing this I tried it sequentially along with plugging it 3,5,4,6.
This is the code I just tried that with in order to see if I could get the stupid motor to move at all:

/*
 Stepper Motor Control - one revolution

 This program drives a unipolar or bipolar stepper motor.
 The motor is attached to digital pins 8 - 11 of the Arduino.

 The motor should revolve one revolution in one direction, then
 one revolution in the other direction.

#include <Stepper.h>

const int stepsPerRevolution = 2038;  // change this to fit the number of steps per revolution
// for your motor

// initialize the stepper library on pins 8 through 11:
Stepper myStepper(stepsPerRevolution, 3, 4, 5, 6);

void setup() {
  // set the speed at 60 rpm:
  myStepper.setSpeed(5);
  // initialize the serial port:
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  // step one revolution  in one direction:
  Serial.println("clockwise");
  myStepper.step(stepsPerRevolution);
  delay(500);

  // step one revolution in the other direction:
  Serial.println("counterclockwise");
  myStepper.step(-stepsPerRevolution);
  delay(500);
}

I also can in fact make an LED light up with my switch on pins 8-11.

Maybe the motor gods just hate me
