it has a total of 6 wires, a white and a black wire about 18 or 16 gauge then 4 smaller wires red, white, black and green, when u you push the small black button the display shows a number. I thought it might be a co detector but the only fuses I can find for it are ok. the problem is I do not have power coming in to it and Im not sure what it is so I can trace it down. yes I touched the larger white and black wires together for a split second and now I have no power.

It looks like the elevation sensor for a Winegard Sat Antenna

thanks Cliff for the correct and quick response. I now longer use that type of SAT Antenna anymore but I still want to find out why I no longer have power coming in to t when I did before I touched the 2 wires together. Heck as far as I know they may have used it to hook up the knew winegard tracking SAT Antenna I use now

There may be a 9 volt battery in there that needs changing.

No its hardwired and I think when I touched the white and black wires together I may have blown a fuse. I don't think its even being used now since I no longer have that type of a hand crank sat antenna. I just want to find out why I no longer have power going to it anymore.
