I have a Garmin motorcycle satnav that uses an external cable transformer like the one in the pic.
(sorry pic is so big)
I have the transformer wired to directly to the motorcycle battery.
It appears to have failed as there is now no voltage at the satnav connection.
Out of curiosity, how much current is it likely to draw with the satnav unit taken OFF the motorcycle?
i.e with no load .
I'm aware that the winding ( the primary?) will take a little current, but surely, not enough to cook it within a few weeks?
I can't get a muli meter to it just yet.
Any help/info would be great.
Thanks guys.
Mods Note:
Please compress the resolution to a clear and appropreate size as 800x600 or 1024x768, the photo already compressed to 800x600.
