Antenna Booster Problem
I'm having an antenna booster problem that's got me baffled. The green light on the antenna booster wasn't lit, so ordered a new booster for my 2009 Keystone Summerland. Got the Winegard wall plate bo...

Are you sure the coax cables are not reversed? Remove the antenna coax and if the voltage is 12V then you might have a short. Next step would be to measure the current which should determine bad booster or short.
Run a temp coax out the window and up to the antenna to help isolate the problem.
Ditto: Original problem could be a shorted coax. Disconnect the coax at both ends and use an ohmmeter to check it. If that is ok then reconnect the coax at the power inserter end and measure at the antenna end with the coax disconnected. If you have good 12 volts then reconnect and check. If the voltage drops your antenna has a short inside. The amplifier is in the head of the antenna.
