Possible solutions |
Blown fuse / tripped breaker: |
Check condition of relevant fuses and breakers and connections,
replace if necessary. (Refer to the Power Connections section
of your product’s Installation Instructions for fuse ratings.)
If fuse keeps blowing, check for cable damage, broken connector
pins, or incorrect wiring.

Poor / damaged / insecure power supply cable / connections: |
Check that the power cable connector is correctly orientated
and fully inserted into the product’s Power connector, and
locked in position.
Check the power supply cable and connectors for signs of damage
or corrosion, and replace if necessary.
With the product switched on, try carefully flexing the power
cable near to the product’s Power connector to see if this
causes the unit to restart or lose power. Replace if necessary.
Check the vessel’s battery voltage and the condition of the
battery terminals and power supply cables, ensuring connections are
secure, clean and free from corrosion. Replace if necessary.
With the product under load, using a multi-meter, check for
high voltage drop across all connectors / fuses etc, and replace if
necessary.
