Winegard satellite dish RM-DM46
Lost satellite signal and discovered the cable is the culprit. Has anyone replaced or spliced in a new cable and if you did how? My thoughts are to splice in a new cable on the roof based on that's...

I thought I should come back and post the outcome in case someone has the same problem.
First the schematic from Fleetwood showed a fitting right below the Plate and there wasn't one. Then I called Winegard back and asked if I would harm the integrity of the harness if I spliced in one and there answer was not at all. So I decided to cut the old and add a fitting and then a new cable to the satellite dish.
Results, the dish actually has 2 fittings so I ran an external cable down thru the window found the direct tv satellite and the spliced reception was identical to the one down thru the window.
