Possibly.
1) Check your fuses.
2) If fuse is ok, remove the amplifier from the wall and test for 12 volts at the back of it.
3) Check the ground wire with an ohmmeter to trailer skin.
4) If 12v is present and ohmmeter shows continuity, amp is probably bad.

I have a stock one which I removed when I upgraded to one that shows signal strength. If I can find it, you're welcome to it.

What model amplifier did you select when you upgraded yours? Does it have the same connectors in back to attach the outside cable and the second tv cable? Sounds like this would be a good upgrade if everything connects the same.

Hi Wolverine,

This is the one I got. It works really well...but a bit difficult to learn how to use. Not really intuitive, but does find the signal for you quickly once you get the steps down. Shop for best price...I just pulled down the first site I came across with a google search.

Edit: Yes same connections....plug and play. You do lose the 12V jack though.
