Get a 75 ohm resistor and an F85 barrel fitting (threaded both ends)
stick the resistor into the barrel fitting and bend the other lead
over
until it touches the threaded part (case) solder into place, put on
end
of small jumper out of wall or unused splitter leg. Cox will replace
it
when they see it. If you want Cox to come out, tell them the ground
wire
in the prewire has come loose, they will respond to this.
