Sheesh, I think I lost you guys. I'm definitely not an electrical engineer. I'm just a dad, wannabe part time fishing guide and well, I'm sure a few other things my wife calls me.

Right now I think the positive goes back to the battery with an inline fuse. (from what I can tell). The negative comes from a switch on the console (crestliner fish hawk) and runs to a fuse type box under the console. For some reason, it won't turn on. I know the fuse is okay, and when I looked at the wires, it appeared that everything was connected okay, so I'm not sure what the issue is. Perhaps the positive wire has some crust on it so it's not getting any juice? I have monkeyed with the battery connection to no avail, but maybe I should try again. Otherwise I may try to run it right back to the battery. I'll read through your responses again when I get home and can look at it to see if that helps, but it's killing me not having a GPS right now and I don't have the time to take it to the shop. DOH!
