Connecting a Garmin Zumo to the Hex ezCAN

<< < (2/2)

SimonR:
Thanks Max.
Did you have to increase the fuse setting for the white wire?

maxhdrm:
I don’t remember setting it so I just went out and looked, it was set to 4amps, I noticed there is a inline fuse on the power cord that is 2amps

StephanT:
yes I recon a Zumo should draw around 1 Amp...

let me see what i can find... here we go User manual :
Usage: 15 W max. @ 13.8 VDC

So that's just over 1 Amp, so a 2 Amp setting should be just fine...

I doubt that was your issue.. there is a poor contact somewhere.. it triggers the device to switch on.. but without power it goes into it's sleep cycle again...

SimonR:
Thanks Stephan & Max.
I had the setting on 4 amps, so agree the power setting is not the issue.
Will check the contacts again. I had my BMW repair shop connect the Zumo bracket to the existing BMW 1200 GPS mounting - maybe it's not a great fit.
