Garmin Display Dead

Post by Cctvdc »

2018 R7 Out on boat today and display on both screens are blank. Looking into it found no power to each screen. I was able to grab 12 Vdc from under dash and feed power to Garmin and they displayed properly. I thought I have seen something on this forum as to a relay being a possible cause ?

Relay gets bumped behind the helm. (Where the radio amplifiers are, I believe). I haven't had that problem yet but anticipating it.

(Or sometimes they go bad)

Bad relay that powers up the display. Common problem. The only issue is there are maybe 2-3 of these relays behind the dash and Cobalt is useless in telling you which one powers the displays. Where mine is located may not be where yours is.
