I have my WB wired into the switched power from the console. Is there a fuse that protects this circuit? Can't seem to find anything in the manual. Otherwise, I may have blown my WB module.

This is confusing :icon_scra
What is WB?
switched power...is that Hot In Run?
8A-11-13 shows Accessory Plug Hot In Run with 15 amp fuse in Auxiliary Fuse Block #2 (1991).
Can you just check the voltage of that circuit to see if you blew a fuse and that your ground associated with that circuit is complete to battery negative terminal?

Secondary fuse block under the glove box.
Dom.in my owners manual.on page 262 there are two auxillary fuse holders. The fuse numbers are number 6 and 7 both 15 amps number 6 is the accessory plug number 7 is the cigar lighter. D

I'll go out and check. I have that supplememental also. Is ACC plug tied in at all w cigar lighter?
UPDATE: Ok, I see its not on same circuit as lighter although same fuse block. However, diagram shows dotted line between the two legs. I had power converter connected to lighter. Spike?

Dom is running a wide band controller to do scanning on the fly.

I just fly.....without the scanning :D

With your ears taped back for aerodynamic efficiency no doubt Cliff. BTW how are the owls ?

They flew away late last spring (2012)....and prolly are setting up nesting again this spring (2013) in same place.
Baby Owls just getting ready to leave the nest

AccPlug fuse is good. Cigar lighter has power. Looks like WB interface blown. Oh well.

Well crap!!!!! You sure the unit is not internally fused. Also try this dom un plug it and plug it back in. It may reset. I know longshot but to test cost nothing

Assume you checked the power by using ground associated with cigar lighter and accessory plug. In other words you did not use a different ground?
Just making sure the grounds are complete with each of those circuits (cigar lighter and accessory plug).
Ohm any and all grounds back to negative terminal of battery.

Actually I did try that yesterday. WB display went dark and then motor would start and die. I have my MAP sensor connected to WB display. When I disconnected WB interface, motor ran. Reconnected, it died. This happened once before. Replaced module and voila. I'll check to see if it has an internal fuse but I doubt it.

Must have over worked the WB. I have a new LC1 I should probably sell
