TV AMP lost power.

Camping the past weekend and watched TV one night with great reception and the next day only had limited channels (3). Looking at the antenna booster plate I noticed the light was off and the switch made no difference in the reception so I suspect the booster either lost power or is inop, I haven’t had a chance to check for voltage yet so I was wondering where the fuse would be. All the schematics I have for the MH don’t show a fuse location so I was wondering where would be the best location to start looking. I have to assume there is a fuse in line for the amp.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Did you try and re auto scan your TV chanels after pushing the button back in. On ours if I change from antenna to cable or vice versa, I alwya do the auto scan again nad get more chanels.

Can't wait till someone finds this one. I gave up and installed a power supply in the cabinet. I never found where it was coming from or why I lost power.

Pull your booster switch plate, mine has a 12v spade connection for booster amp power behind it, your's may have one too and could have dislodged.
