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 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.

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.

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.

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 !

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 .
