Winegard DM elevation sensor . Loss of sat. signal REPAIRED

When I depress the button on the unit I get an error code. I went on the roof and checked and cleaned a connection with electronic cleaner, removed both connectors going to the circuit board as was suggested.
It is hard wired and has not had a 9 volt battery mounted to the panel.

expensive little sucker.

    I might try a 9 volt battery, in case there is some interference on the 12 v line
