I have a garman 478 and installed a gsd 21 and transducer. The gsd 21 and 478 powers up but the gsd 21 flashes 1 sec on 1/2 sec off signaling a wireing problem, the gsd 21 does not have instructions for a 478 so I used the wireing diag for the single 396 . Is there a different wireing for a 478 or am I doing something else wrong

Garmin 100 echo stays in simulate mode. Is there a setting to change it to live mode?

1 turn off the simulator in the menu.

if that does not work

2. Check the connection to the transducer, if it is unhooked or corroded, clean and reattach the connector, the unit will stay in simulator mode if it does not detect a transducer attached to it

Kenmore elite oasis washer, top load that flashes F1 at the rinse cycle, what part do i need to fix this???

The F1 fault code on this washer indicates that the water level pressure transducer signal is out of range. The pressure transducer air hose tubing being pinched or crimped can cause this. A failed pressure transducer on the machine control board can also cause it.

The first image below shows the method for accessing the pressure transducer tube that runs from the bottom of the washer tub to the machine control. I recommend checking this air hose for pinches, twists or crimps.NOTE: Be sure to unplug the washer to disconnect electrical power before accessing internal components.

If you find no problems with the pressure transducer tube, then the machine control board will need to be replaced. The procedure for accessing and replacing the machine control board is shown in the second image below. The part number for the machine control board is W10189966.

Unable to track the bottom

I think you need to level the transducer. You have it pointed way out in front of you so that when you're going fast it is able to bounce the signal off the bottom and it comes back to where the boat has traveled to. When you're going slow you're bouncing it out in front of you but it comes back up in front of you. Sorry but I can't find a picture of a Garmin transducer. Hope this helps.

Sounder not working

Interference like that is usually caused by electrical noise. Does it happen when everything else on the boat is turned off? If the answer is no, then you can isolate the source of the interference by turning things on one at time. Follow your transducer cable and make sure it has not been damaged or altered in any way.

Also make sure that your gain is set to auto

The GSD 21 has an LED indicator light on it. If it detects a malfunction the LED will flash in distinct colors or patterns. In the troubleshooting section of the owners manual there is a list that explains what each flash pattern means.

GSD 20 power problem

I'm not sure what you mean by "cannot get the sounder to power up". Are you not getting power to theGSD20, or are you not getting the sounder to display on the screen? I can probably help you with this but I need some more information.

If you are getting power to the GSD 20 sounder, it will have a flashing LED next to the cables that plug into the GSD 20 box. What color is it and what is the flash pattern (how many flashes, and fast or slow?) When you power up the GSD20 does the color or flash pattern change.

I'll watch for your response here.
