You should always protect LNB's, especially from water ingress, like any other electrical component. I always use self amalgamating tape, and/or a rubber boot, this includes on any unused output.
If you have easy access, to your dish/LNB, I would still take the option of removing your LNB.
Turn off your receiver.
Take it indoors, then make a fresh cable, it only has to be small, and connect this to your receiver, then to the satellite meter.
You should have a rec, and LNB, listed on your meter, showing which way round you connect it.
When you turn on your receiver, you should get a constant response, a light, and a beeping, providing you have the knob turned down to zero.
This will prove where the problem lies.
Hopefully your LNB is fine, but it's unlikely, given how open, to the elements, it has been.
You also should cover the connections to your motor.
Please post back the results, if you do this test.
