winegard automatic swm3 antenna
"No LNB Voltage". Does anybody know where the problem may be? It worked fine last trip but now the dish turns completely upside down with the LNB arm vertical. Makes one revolution and back, then stow...

I haven't had a chance to look. Did this cable have regular RG6 connectors on both ends?
My dish would turn completely over lake a saucer, make a complete 360 search with the lnb arm pointed straight up and then return to the stow position. Was your experience similar?
Did you get CS help from Winegard? "
Our dish operates the same as yours. I didn't notice any corrosion on either end of that short cable I replaced. To be honest the faulty cable didn't "look" bad but obviously was. I managed to be able to use my "homemade" cable for a little while but I made it a bit too short and eventually that one failed. The replacement has been working great ever since. :BDan
I didn't have the luck you had. The replacement cable made no difference. I talked to Winegard CS and I will have to pack up the turret and return it to Iowa. Repair will be a flat fee of $350. I pay shipping there and they pay return shipping. The turret weighs about 50 lbs.
As to those other connections on the base you'd have to call Winegard and ask them, I have NO idea if they'd work or not. I reconnected the replacement cable to the same terminal on the base.
