Location: Mauston, Wisconsin | Tuffy- Here's a SWAG for you! Usually a fused terminal block is at + battery potential. If the red lead (+) is connected directly to the positive battery (+) and the negative lead is connected to the fused terminal block they are both most likely at the same potential, i.e., there is no voltage going to the GPS unit.
To simplify this a bit- it's the same as connecting both leads directly to the positive battery terminal. It shouldn't have damaged anything- you just don't get any voltage or power.
Carefully disconnect both leads, wherever they go. Is there a inline fuse in the positive lead? If so, connect the positive lead (+) directly to the positive battery terminal (+) and the negative lead (-) directly to the negative battery terminal (-). Now turn it on!
If you're going to the Presque Isle outing at the end of the month, I'll take a shot at fixing it so it's switched if that's what you want.
