Unit is new, worked for one week, makes a whining sound at every turn, does not show the ships bow foreward but in a different position every time I turn it on.

Hi,
When the GPS unit was wired in reversed, a number of the electronic components would be damaged. However, in most units (but not all), there is a component specifically made to sacrifice itself to go dead in such event(s) other than the fuse. The is often called the reverse protection diode. This would normally be connected right after the power entry point after the fuse. In some designs, it would be after the power ON/OFF switch. Should there be no such diode, then next in line to be the most likely culprits would be capacitors, transistors, ICs, other diodes (specially zeners). If the trouble is basically limited to power supply, familiarity with electronic components and circuitry, use of a DVM and a soldering iron should be sufficient to initiate diagnosis and repairs.
Hope that this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.
Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.

The messages “NO HEADING PULSE” and “NO BEARING PULSE” means that the display is not communicating with the scanner (antenna). Both of these signals are generated in the scanner if you get this error check that the antenna cable is firmly connected and that the contacts are clean and corrosion free.
If the connection at the display looks good and feels like it’s properly connected, check the cable for any damage If you find damage you could try to repair the wires BUT (because of corrosion and moisture problems) IT IS STRONGLY REMENDED that the cable be replaced, but it’s kind of expensive $275.00.
The Part number is 000-130-034. Depending on the marine shops in your area they may have it in stock (or they can order one) but you can get it directly from Furuno at;

I hope it’s just a loose connection. Good luck!

n the system setup, under “UNITS” I set
BEARING to “MAG” (magnetic). This will cause the unit to display course /
bearing information in relation to the Magnetic North and match magnetic
compass readings. It is not the same as True North! One has to be careful with
this setting. There are a number of areas where the earth's magnetic field is
locally disturbed, sometimes very significantly. Your GPS may not account for
it.

again, under “UNITS” I set “METRIC”.

More than likely the belt has come off again. This is a common problem with this radar. You'll need a small allen wrench to tighten it up again.
