Hi Pat, did you check the power terminals to be sure the connections are good at both ends?
You might also try a jumper between a good working 24 volt terminal set and the 7000 to see if maybe there is a wire issue.
I'd do a lot more checking before looking for a replacement.$$$$
Good luck.

I sprayed Corrosion X in all the terminals saturating the wire and
connections. The autohelm is still displaying a low battery message.I fear I may
have to replace the computer. If anyone has any thoughts to anything else the
problem may be, I would welcome their insight.
Thanks,Pat SM 123

I first came across Corrosion X in Trinidad where they told me that the
heavy duty Corrosion X was the only thing that would prevent rust on the

back to life. Unlike WD-40, Corrosion X is a good high pressure lubricant.
I agree with you that the stuff is great.
