Re: Xtl5000 and battery problem

Every wire from the main radio and from the control heads is going to a Blue Seas fuse block which is powered only when the ignition is on. Everything should be dead no power at all when the ignition is off, confirmed with a volt meter.

Starting to lean towards a control head problem. I know the second head worked but now it shows no sign of life. I even plugged the radio into the second head buy itself and it is not powering on. So we will see as this saga continues for the quest of a dual head radio.
