Walking dog in tshirt yesterday then had 7" snow over night , I went up and cleared it but antenna got stuck and popped the fuse , another lesson learned !! Does anybody know where the fuse / trip is located ??
we have to move out by noon thanks
Jimmy - which antenna? I'm guessing satellite since OTA is usually a manual crank-up....
If so, which satellite dish do you have and who did the installation? That will help folks with same set-up respond.
The batwing tv antenna , it's powered up and down and turn !!
The switch in top cabinet to right of front tv , normally lights up when the buttons are pressed , now nothing so I am guessing a trip switch or fuse but no luck finding it so far
Jimmy,
If it is a Concord electric antenna, there is a 1 amp fuse in the 12 volt wire coming from the battery to the control unit. I will send a PDF file of the manual as soon as someone answers my post on how to add the PDF file.

Click REPLY and type your comment. Then scroll down a bit and click on SELECTING THEM on the right of the bar to add files. Click on the file you want to add and then click POST.
Jimmy,
I hope the file is attached.
Thanks for the help. I had tried that before but did not see the file in the body of my post so I thought that I had better ask for help.
Larry
Jimmy,
On the 05 the TV antenna fuse is in the overhead behind the electrical plate that has the raise button, antenna rotate button, return button and travel button. Mine is right next to a plate that has the OTA boost/cable button and 12volt outlet. Cabinet location is the overhead above the dash directly in front of the passenger seat.
The 12 volt auto reset breakers are below the dashin front of the pax seat.

I think mine could be same place , just home to find crawl space flooded so pumping that out and look at antenna tomorrow .
Thanks everyone for help
Larry
Thanks for that file , plan to strip it down tomorrow , hopefully the gears etc are intact and it's just a fuse .
Is the company still in business , are parts still available ?
It always picks up a few stations and I prefer to repair things rather than replace . Thanks again
Ok , after striping out control , the. Antenna now raises , lowers and turns but when I press return which should align antenna front to back , ready to lower into cradle it stops early .
I am assuming there are limit switches but not sure how to get to them or reset them !
After reading the file that Larry sent me , I plan to lube the friction surface between base and mounting plate ,if that fails I will call manufacture
Called manufacture today for advice , sadly the advice was worth what I paid for it .
Now able to get antenna up and down but if turned it will not return to correct position to drop into cradle .
Any you guys replaced yours and have an old working unit for sale .
Pulled the antenna apart , refixed the nylon friction points , greased the gears and reassembled . It was a bit of a task but now returns to the cradle and is super quiet .
