    I guess the first thing to try it to borrow a buddy’s puck, connect it to your unit, and see if that solves the problem. Or take your unit to a gander/sportsmans warehouse/cabelas/reeds and have one of their guys check the unit with an in-stock puck. Quick diagnosis and a quick fix (replace with new puck) if that’s the problem. I ran into that problem (and solution) with a Lowrance unit on my crestliner a couple of years back.

    yep, exactly my thoughts. I had a new one right out of the box that was no good. First make sure you have power to the puck and then go from there- -jerr

    If you have access to the Lowrance website, I would go to their troublshooting section and type in gps module not responding. It will come up with your unit and a list of resolutions relating to your statement.

    I used it to fix a problem with my backbone connections and terminators to the bus.
    good luck!!!!!

    could be one of your cables or the T connector in your line.. that has been known to happen.. they may be less than having to replace your puck.. hook yours up to someone elses and trouble shoot that way if possible..

    Thanks for the advice guy’s. Hope it’s not the puck — $199 for a new one.

    Just picked up my new planter on Friday. A cut down John Deere flex 71 planter. I ordered as a 3 row which is almost exactly as wide as the tractor. This will be very nice for getting into my plots in the woods and for planting the 4 acre plot. I will keep the pull behind planter at home for now and use this at the farm. I can’t wait try this baby out!!

    I own that exact same planter. Planted 14 acres with it last year, both corn and beans. You will love it!!
