What make/model etc is it? What is it connected to? What are the symptoms?

hi jimmy

it is a furuno I dont have the model number to hand but its quite old the screen comes on fine but comes up with a error code, i have had the top of the dome off and everything looks fine and moving nice and freely, but it is not spinning there is no sign of a in line fuse anywhere im guessing it should be fused.

any ideas?

What was the error code? Did you look it up in the manual?

I am not doing very well here,
I dont have the error code either however when i was over with it i did check the manual which had no information on the code.

HOW CAN IT BE FINE WHEN YOU SAY IT'S NOT SPINNING? Please explain again what is/not happening, the transmitters are generally driven by toothed plastic gears, are these engaging? and maybe they need lubricating.
