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.

SOURCE: Furuno 1623 Radar reading "no heading pulse"

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.

How do I repair a cracked Furuno Radome? The top white part is cracked from a tree branch

No, a quarter sized blank area around boat on lowest 1/8 mile range is normal. The dome cover is available for just over $100., so why risk a leak?

We have a radar Furuno 1622 - the scanner scans but sometimes we got echo and targets, sometimes none, sometime we get echos and targets on a small range display (1mile) but none on 2 or 4 miles range,...

I know this question is very basic, but did you check your gain and clutter settings? That echoes show in short range, disappear, reappear, and are not consistent on long range sounds normal to me. Auto settings sometimes also can get a bit mad, then manula settings makes sense.

Did you run the unit and scanner test?

Like a previous poster, I get "no heading pulse." However, my array is spinning, but erratically. I'm also in Mexico, and would like to pick up repair parts in the US rather than ship the unit to the US....

Adjust the motor mounting so belt don't slide up and down including the tension. Check the cabling connections, axial position sensor and rotor for weather damage. if problem resolved seal the housing with a silicon gel. If belt has visual wear 80% chance thats your culprit. Please be very careful for the magnetron has very HIGH VOLTAGE.

Furuno 1715 gives "no heading pulse" error. Image normal, but clocked due to no reference. Pulled heading sensor (4X6X1mm black box, two wires, labeled NRS-101) and checked continuity across leads. Open...

Heading pulse is a reed switch sensor built inside the dome. upon each rotation of the array the reed switch is activated. Do a visual inspection of your array (inside) to make sure it is spinning (verify from a distance). Don't get eye level with the rotating array it can cause great harm to your eyes. Normally I have seen the belt slip off and also the lanyard attachment get caught in the array. Check those two things as well.

Our Radar Furuno 1715-24NM On. ( Power in Oke ) but can not show drawing in monitor/lcd. thanks. regard - damanik

If you have no radar targets, go to longest range 24 miles, gain full, rain and sea minimum, do you have noise, if so, need magnetron, if not, need cable from display to dome.
