Does anyone have a cable schematic for a 06 dolphin? Trying to find where the basement tv cable ends inside the DVD cabinet. Thanks!

Just bumping in case anyone can help. (You might post in the National RV board to see if anyone has the schematic.)

If you have a multi Meter? it will take an old piece of cable cut it off at af oot and short the wires together then go inside and test the cable there and when one sees the cable as shorted you found your cable to make sure just go out to the cable lead you made and take it off, go back inside to make sure the short is not present . should work just fine for you

Silly question on my part, but the Winegard switching unit should have the inputs and outputs marked on the back side.

You don't have to cut the cable, just short it out with a jumper wire. Leave the outside connector on.

With just an A/B switch, how many TVs do you have? If the A/B is switching front and rear TVs, the outside cable must be hanging someplace in the cabinet and not terminated.

If you had the Winegard switcher it is typically either TV 3 or Aux.

I'm confusted, if you have just an A/B switch, have you found a cable in the basement compartment? If my memory is correct, units produced in the later years used simplified wiring, eliminating the basement entertainment wiring.
