When I took the puck apart, the first thing I saw was GREEN. Normally I kinda like green but not this time. LOL Anyways, I got to find one of these little buggars and rehook everything up. Art MIGHT have one like this at his shop since he works with small lektronics
looks like a reaction to a corrosive environment. Don't look good
I don't think this will end well.
Someone call 911!
it'll be OK, just need a new connector is all.
Why can't you clean them up with an electronics cleaner and a bristle brush? If not, go to Radio Shack or a stereo installer.
Radio Shack ya gewber. Don't tell em what it's fer tho. Jus tell em ya need one. When you tell em gps puck, they'll feel like a DD too.
That's one of the places I was gonna try. That one was so corroded that it'd eaten the metal away so I gots to get a new one
Before you start reconnecting everything, slide a piece of that heat shrink wrap on your wires. After all connections are made up, slide the wrap down and heat it up. This won't keep it 100% clean but will make it last longer.
You'll be lucky if radio shack can order in something like that. But it's worth a shot. Prolly a proprietary connector.
Wannabe...
Art should have something like this if they don;t
I would also smear the non-corrosive type gel all over it like you use on car batteries. That might prevent future probs. Oh, by the way, I don't think K will work.
Man K works great, just not the new stuff they got. If I used it, I could put the hers on the neg and his on Positive right? AHHH HAHAHAHA
DD get some dielectric silicon and use om all connections

That will seal in whatever is causing the corrosion. It's not moisture that's causing the problem. Salt or electrical bleed is the problem, or both.Quote:
