Bummer Dwight From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of dwight veinot via CnC-List Sent: Tuesday, July 07, 2015 8:01 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: dwight veinot Subject: Re: Stus-List Raymarine wheel pilot st 4000+
Well unfortunately my problem is not a loose wire...I did the test on the motor, it works fine; problem is with the control head but only for autopilot, the main function of the unit, but I like that it still gives a correct digital heading and a measure of rudder angle so I won't rush the control head in for repair, probably do that this winter, I lived without autosteering before so that's what I have til next summer, no autosteering, unless I can find a deal on a control head...I found the service manual here and it explained how to take apart and test, maybe others here could use the reference too: http://www.ganssle.com/jack/st4000.pdf Dwight Veinot C&C 35 MKII, Alianna Head of St. Margaret's Bay, NS d.ve...@bellaliant.net<mailto:d.ve...@bellaliant.net> On Mon, Jul 6, 2015 at 8:27 PM, Jim Watts via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com<mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>> wrote: The connectors can get loose on the back of the control head, as well.

Pushed it in and tightened the lock nut. Mine is a little newer X 5 so the connector might be different. I hope it's that simple for you!

It worked fine just after completing the compass deviation procedure which gave 3 degrees but then when I next went to use it in AUTO mode nothing happened, no +1 or +10 or -1 or -10 response from the motor that drives the wheel and therefore no auto steering but everything else, like heading and rudder angle worked fine. Can anyone shed light on this, like is there a test that I could do to see if the problem is with the control unit or the drive motor?
