Antenna Booster Lost power

Had a thunderstorm last night in New Tripoli, PA. The antenna booster lost power. Checking the fuse is okay. No 12V DC at the yellow and white wires on the backside of the switch. Anyone know where these wires lead to/get their power?

12v fuse in the load center?

The 12V fuse (F15), located in the Precision Plex control center below the countertop stove, was okay.


Looking for the yellow and white wires in the first compartment on the drivers side ( where the inverter lives), I saw a grouping of fuses. Would be great to have a legend for those fuses to know what they serve, Anyway, I pulled every one ( as opposed to checking them with a multi meter) abd checked them visually and all were okay.


When I checked the booster switch, I found it was energized and now all is well. So although I don't know the root cause of the issue, it is fixed. Perhaps some one may have a legend for these fuses to confirm there is a relation to the antenna booster?

Perhaps turning on all the devices, pull the fuse(s) and note what each one powers. That's what I would do anyways...

I didn't count them but if memory serves, there's 3 rows of 6 so 18 anyways. I think a better use of time is to get a legend. Could be quite a time suck.

If it is the precision plex system, when you cycle through the menu at the fuse panel, if tells you what each one is.

Brian, thanks for your input, that is what I checked first-fuse F15 was okay. It was fixed by removing the fuses on the panel in the first compartment where the inverter is located. Do you have a legend for that panel?

There has been one posted here several times, in multiple threads. I am headed into a meeting, but will try and look after.

Maybe search "relay fuse layout"?

That would be appreciated especially since the antenna booster does not work now. Thank you Brian.

I searched "fuse layout" and this was on page one.

Sound like maybe a little mild corrosion on the fuse. Cured by pulling it and putting it back.

Bet you are in a wet climate??
