    I have a minn Kota 315d three bank on board charger and bank three is showing check connection.
    I’ve checked all of the connections and swapped it to a known good battery it still shows the same blinking red light.
    All of the wires appear to be good.
    Is there something I’m missing?
    Please any help will be appreciated very much.
    Thanks !

    Hi Greg
    I just had a similar problem with my MinnKota 212, 6 amp, 2 bank. After checking all the fuses, I swapped leads from one battery to the other, problem stayed with that particular output. Called MinnKota technical help, They verified what I did and agreed with my suspicion that that particular output was bad. 2 months out of warranty. Too bad, they couldn’t help me.
    Just bought a replacement charger, but not a MinnKota.

    There really isn’t much to troubleshoot on these chargers, but, I would check the battery lead fuse(s) with an ohm meter to ensure it’s good, not just visually. Then I would power it up, checking the charger output voltage at a set of leads that are working and compare it to the suspect leads. If you’re not getting any voltage output, you’re probably in the same boat as I was.
    Good luck

    If it’s under warranty, call MinnKota. If not, strip the ring terminals back a little and see if the crimp has failed.

    I’m afraid your right.
    Everything points to that.

    It’s out of warranty and the terminals are connected good.
    Thanks.
