Antenna Wiring

[nybigdog82162]

Anyone know the wiring color code for the antennas? I m getting nothing from my antenna when I do a channel search on all my TVs. The green booster light is on.

Here's some pics of the wiring on my booster plate.

If this helps, here is mine... Check cable ends, I had three areas were I replaced ends.

Hmm wired the same...gray from antenna on roof.

Grey is satellite, satellite are all home runs..... Sorry not a lot of knowledge on my end.

If yours is like mine: the black runs to outside / CG cable; the white is other sets; the orange from antenna. The connection without a cable is Aux and is used many times to feed satellite from outside on some models / options. Then there's power red +B and white - or ground. The white (other sets) runs to a splitter tucked into ceiling right there. I would take a look at the connection to the antenna on the roof.

Went up top side looked at all the connections everything tight and cable looked good.

FYI, pulled coax up through the roof..confirmed on my unit it goes from the Wingard gray coax and splits to the black coax.

I took a 50' coax and connected it directly to the antenna and then ran it to the booster hookup...no go. Green light yes but no signal detected at any of the TVs.

I even tried bypassing the booster and connecting the TV directly to the antenna with the 50' coax...no go, no signal.

Think I've got a bum antenna new from the factory. Any way to disassemble antenna itself?

doubt it's the antenna . not much to it . you could use a coat hanger

I almost hate to ask, but you have changed input to TV or whatever your TV calls the OTA coax input?

Yes, did a cable and antenna channel search. (different connections)

I even pulled the TV in the front bedroom and brought it into the house and hooked it up to cable. Did a channel search and worked just fine. Dealers a hour away but have plans to camp almost every weekend until fall. (reservations = lost money already paid out to reserve america -- NY State Parks are awful...better book way in advance) I hate to turn it in for warranty and lose those missed opportunities for memories and fun.

May just have to do without until end of summer...
