All transducers should read 0 ohms or close to it. If not you most likely have a broken pin in the connector or wire.

I can't remember correct setup but make sure that box is powered and connected to GPS in right input. With no power to box it won't be discovered by head unit.

I would guess that "sonar failure" would mean that no signal is being received from the transducer. Trouble shoot accordingly.

Hi Lakshmaan: The first thing I would check would be the electrical connections from the transducer, and the transducer wire.

I'd start by checking the transducer function. The easiest way is to borrow another one and see if it works. If it does, and yours doesn't, check for broken wires.

You lost your power wires + & - or blown a fuse. The other two are the transducer connections.
