If you are in Simulator it will not give you the temp option ...

If you are in Normal ... There is something wrong ...it should give air temp in Normal ...

Before you call HB ... You might disassemble the cables out of the mount and plug them straight into the sockets ...

Also make sure pin #5 is in tack in the xducer cable end connector ...

I pulled the head unit off for the first time since I got it back from the factory. I vowed not to remove it after all the issues I had with it losing power connection.

I had temp this past saturday, albeit a very wrong temp, now nothing. I will check the pin condition and report back.

I had put a dab of electronics grease on those connections when I got it back from the factory. Is that a good practice or could that cause issues.

I am starting to think I just got a lemon.

HB recommends no grease ... Grease attracts and holds dirt ...

The contacts are gold plated to eliminate corrosion ...

I'll use some circuit cleaner and get it off there then.

Think I have a bad connection on the wire going into the transducer. I wiggled it and temp came back. Started charging batteries so turned it off. When I was done with the batteries I turned it back on the see what voltage it was getting and temp was gone again. No amount of wire wiggling got it back either. I'll probably buy a new transducer.
