Hi All,
Got a weird one thats got me stumped, it might be obvious but....
I have wired up a Garmin sat nav via a cradle to the canbus plug next to the horn on the RHS (sitting on the bike). I have used a touratech plug and their plastic screw-in connectors (as I dont have a weld gun).
With the nav manually turned on (so I can see if it gets a charge):
When I turn the ignition on the nav unit appears to be getting NO charge
When I start up the engine it is the same, no charge.
When I turn the ignition off the nav unit appears to be getting a charge???? For a couple of minutes. I know that the canbus is supposed to do this (i.e. give power for a couple of minutes before switching off) but I am very confused as to why the bike is not giving power to the socket when the ignition is turned on but is when its turned off.
I have the front fork sensor plugged in on the other side but wouldn't have thought that would be an issue?
Coudl it be the wiring is dodgy, but then why does it get a charge when the ignition is off.
Weird??? any thoughts?
