NO POWER TO GPS

Post by mjohnh »

MY C-80 display came back from Florida and it "seems" to be working. I cannot set up the GPS and there is no power to the GPS as the little LED light on top of the antenna is "off".
Question: How would you recommend diagnosing the power supply to the Antenna. The only electrical that was disturbed when the display panel was removed and put back in were the pronged connectors to the back of the panel. I have been told by RayMarine, level 2, that the wire is white.

I will try to use a volt meter if I can find the connector. Also, my 28TE does not have a separate "switch" for the GPS, just one switch to the Display. The GPS is NOT connected through the Auto pilot.....

Thanks in advance.

It happens to all of us. My mother, a physicist, says the first law of physics is this: It won't work if it's not plugged in. :)
