If your GPS unit powers down before it can fully boot up, use the steps below to charge the GPS unit and test the vehicle power cable:

  1. Connect device to a computer that is powered on
    • The unit should power On when you plug it in showing a computer plugged into the GPS unit on the screen (Mass Storage Mode)
  2. Press Reset button on the bottom of device if it does not power On*
  3. Allow the unit to set and charge for 3-4 hours
Once the device is charged please take it to the vehicle and test it on the vehicle power cable.
  1. Connect the device to the vehicle power cable
  2. Connect the vehicle power cable to outlet on vehicle
  3. Power the vehicle On
  4. Device should automatically power on
    • If a battery icon appears directly to the left of the time then it is not receiving a charge from the vehicle
    • Please check the fuse in the vehicle power cable
      • The end of the cable unscrews to reveal this fuse
      • Check to make sure the wire element inside the fuse is in contact and that there is no discoloration.
      • If you see either of these the fuse needs to be replaced with the replacement fuse specifications listed on the sticker attached to the cable.
      • If the fuse looks good and there is still no light, the vehicle power outlet may need to be checked to see if it has power.
*Note - The reset button may be found on either the left or right side. In some cases if the device does not have a reset button slide the power key to the left or On position for about 10 - 15 seconds.

My pilot light won't stay lite,replace thermopile and still doesn't stay lite.

Hi there.
Check for wiring errors, fix and tighten all wiring connections. Make sure that the gas pressure is correct.
Check the hi limit and gas valve, one of those component may be bad.

BC370CRS squelch not working

Take the case apart and clean the Volume and Squelch with Electronic Contact Cleaner until the knobs move really easy. The Potentiometers should now be clean and the Scanner should work as it should now.

Temperature needle stays on the hot , have changed temperature sensor but it still stays on the hot and the engine is not overheating or leaking anything..what is making it stay on the hot

replace the thermostat,, and make sure that the fan engages , just because the fluids don't boil over doesn't mean the temp isn't to high, if your saying that the temp gauge is stuck on the hot setting, and doesn't move even when the car is cold,, thats a different problem,, if thats the case whats the make , model , and year

When i power my moniter it shuts itself off in ten second by itself

Either your computer is sending a signal it doesn't support (too high resolution or refresh rate), or the monitor has power issues. Try starting the computer and going into the setup screen. If the monitor stays on, it's a resolution/refresh issue in the OS. If it doesn't stay on, it'll be cheaper to get a new monitor.

The left side of the toaster does not stay engaged...if I hold it down it heats up but it doesn't stay down ..it doesn't catch.

There are two printed circuit boards inside front of toaster - One PC board for each side. The circuit board on the side that won't latch down in the "toasting" position , is defective. Now, does anyone have access to a schematic for this toaster?
