    Default LOST SIGNAL on MINNKOTA IPOLOT POWERDRIVE V2


    I have a barely used IPilot MinnKota POWERDRIVE V2 that will not get a gps signal. This is frustrating because although I can still use basic features, I cannot use any of the features that make it an IPiLOt such as spot lock, auto navigation, etc. I have checked the wiring and still no better. Does anyone have suggestions for a contact who might be able to assist me with this issue? I appreciate it.

    Pull the 4 screws from under the head and remove top cover. In there should be a brown wire with a fuse holder. Pull that fuse and check if it is blown.

    Yesterday, I checked that fuse and it looked fine. I'm going to replace it anyways and see if it helps. Thank you for the suggestion.

    If that doesn't work I would get on the phone to them because I can't think of anything other than that unless the board is bad. And just make sure all the connections are good.

    looks can be deceiving, its best to use a volt ohm meter to check a fuse for continuity !!!!

    We recently had a problem with a TM while on the lake. I called Grizzly Jigs, and their guy walked me through a fix. Just a suggestion, that or call the Company. GrizJig no. 573-333-9866.
