Just ran into this thread...my red light is on the exterior “rabbit ears” antenna. The booster must be in the utility chase above the tv on my 189 as the coax cable and the video/audio cables come out of the hole on the bottom of the chase. The chase has the solar charging controller, the furrion stereo, the inside/outside speaker control and the slide/awning lights panel. They make sure you can’t access the inside as there are no screws visible. My solar charging unit keeps the batteries charged while the red ant Anna lights up the outside. Weird design. I would post a picture but cannot figure out how. How about you...babysaph?...get er figured out on how to turn off the red light?

You may be able to get a manual on line.  I printed one off for my 2015 years ago.

The coax connector on the TV side of the cover is bad.  It's been crushed instead of crimped.  I'd buy another coax to replace it.

Thanks for the heads up on the crushed coax connector Crankster.  It works fine but I'll go ahead and replace it.

Thanks for the idea Steven.

I have used the TV the one and only time we were hooked up to AC power for a few days.  We had the inside antenna booster switch turned on for that.  It has been turned off for the rest of our trips that were all boon-docking with no hookups.  The battery didn't run down after 4 days.

Trying to figure out if it is wired wrong is more than I'm comfortable with tackling, so I'm not going to worry about the red light on the antenna staying on.

I suspect that the wrong cable is going to the antenna _OR_ the amplifier may be defective.

Right where the red light is, there is a push button. That is the on off switch. You tried pushing the tiny button? The red light in the picture should go off, and the roof light will also go off. Oh and btw, I would consider updating your lap sealant, it appears to be not sealing the area.

I pushed the tiny button to turn off the booster.  The red light in the photo beside the booster switch went off.  The red light on the antenna did not go off.  The sealant if fine.
