TV Power July 30, 2025, 09:44:57 pm No power to TV or antenna booster. The fuse in the 12 V power center is fine but when the fuse is pulled out, the little red light doesn’t come on so there appears to be no power to that circuit (#6). Any advice on what to check?
Re: TV Power Reply #1 – August 01, 2025, 08:01:57 am Looks like there is a spare circuit on number one, if you determine that 6 is really bad you could move to 1. You wouldn't have to buy a new board yet. Check 6 with your meter for 12 VoltsJon
Re: TV Power Reply #2 – August 01, 2025, 08:24:21 am Hi Greg; The little red light in the power center relies on the load to provide a 'leak to ground' through the load to light up. Nothing is wrong at the power center. The load isn't connected; so there is an open along the way to the television. I believe that there is another fuse as part of the amplifier power going to the batwing antenna pre amp circuit. 6 amps if I remember correctly. Inside the cover plate with the cigarette lighter socket. Plugging and unplugging into that socket can sometimes short that circuit and pop that glass fuse. RonB 2 Likes

Re: TV Power Reply #4 – August 02, 2025, 12:02:49 pm Good news, found the problem. First, I looked behind the cigarette lighter plug as Ron suggested but didn’t see any fuses there. Next, I removed the four screws holding the power switches/booster assembly in place and discovered that the power lead for the switch had dislodged. The connector was a little loose so I cinched it up a little with needle-nose pliers and reinstalled. A simple fix, and I learned more about the LD electrical system; a win-win!Thanks for your help! 7 Likes
