Can someone help me with this
How can my power cord to the dash show 12+ volts on the power cord, I plug in my helix 9 and it will not turn on.
If I go to the bow, and plug in up there, same volt reading it turns on instantly.
The prongs on the cord at the dash look perfect.
Anyone have this issue?
Are they on the same battery? Is there an inline fuse somewhere?
Seems like a power source issue maybe.
Also, can you swap the power cords? Maybe it’s bad or nicked.
Same source, the multi meter gets the same voltage at the dash and bow, so it can’t be a fuse, there is power there
Bad cord then I would guess.
do you have a 3 amp inline fuse in the units cord as recommended?
If you have stuff networked you may be reading ghost voltage if there is a power or ground problem at that plug,this an issue with sensitive volt meters.
Apply a load like a test light to that circuit,most likely it wont light the bulb now that you have a real load on that circuit.
I assume you tested at the prongs? On the dash power cable try bending the 2 prongs a little. Likely not making contact when plugged in. Helix power cables suck.
