    No depth readings on a HDS live 9

    This maybe long. 1st. My hds live 9 was blowing a fuse out of the blue. Found that issue, but could that of fried my 3 in 1 transducer. Or is my hds gone bad. I’ve done soft and hard reset. I’ve lost depth, down imagining and side scan. I have Water temperature reading. No clicking coming from transducer. I’m leaning towards it being a bad transducer. Any ideals? Depth is in local and I’ve even tried global. Neither worked. Everything was working fine before the fuse blowing. Which was caused by a bad connection.

    The problem above in my previous post is on my console depth finder. I have the hds 7 live on the bow, and it works fine.

    Swap the units to see if the problem follows the 9.

    I’ve had my console hds reading depth from my bow hds. Of course you loose that reading when the trolling motor is out. That’s another reason why I think it’s the transducer.

    Is the correct transducer selected on the console unit. I'd check that first.

    That is another thing I’ve noticed and tried to change. Every since I’ve had the boat. Bought new. The transducer has always been unknown. I can put it on channel 2 and ai3-1 is on the list. But soon as I hit save, the page changes to sonar. Once I go back in to see if the change stayed, it changes back to channel 1 and unknown for transducer. On the down scan page in menu, it says resource channel 2. But go into settings, network, I think data source, or installation it says channel one. The boat is not here at home with me. It’s at a buddies garage in TN. So I’m saying this through memory, and it’s not great. Thanks for your thoughts. Everything works except for depth / sonar. No down scan, no side scan with no bottom or depth reading.
