+jollybgood Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Okay, I admit it. I'm an idiot. But I thought I'd admit my stupidity incase there are others llke me out there. About six months ago I was hooking up my 60CS to its cigarette adapter when I put the plug in at an odd angle and bent one of the prongs in the back of the GPS. I straightened out but the cable just wouldn't provide power. I figured I fried it or somethingn so I ordered a new one. A few days ago I plugged in the new adapter and no power. I was about to toss it and order a new one when I noticed the little sticker on the cable that says "Fuse 1.5 amps). Fuse? I guess I never paid much attention. I unscrewed the little chrome nut on the end of the plug and sure enough a fuse dropped out and it was blown. That got me thinking so I dug out the old cable (I never throw anything away). Same thing -- blown fuse. I bought new fuses and both work perfectly now. I really need to pay more attention. Anyway I mention it just incase there are others out there like me. Live and learn. ;D Quote Link to comment
+Airmapper Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 I went through the same thing with my Lowrance, my green light on the power cord wouldn't come on. I called tech and they said to check the fuse. That's what it was, It used to blow them on a regular basis, but it hasn't been doing it so often now. Quote Link to comment
