GPS issue - after repair

[martymrgrin]

Hey everyone. New to the group here and looking for some expertise with a problem that I found on my trike.

I just had the transmission repair done at Honda of Shelby. Cleaning up the bike and resetting all of the stations and settings

when I realized that the GPS is not picking up my location. It still shows the dealer location on the map and when I go to the

satellite settings, there are no numbers there ( I guess meaning that there is no signal).

I am hoping that it is a GPS antenna that is not plugged in or something simple like that. I really hate to go get my buddies trailer

again and go all the way back up there and waste another day and half, if I can fix it quickly. I have taken the seat off and do not

see anything unplugged.

Can someone please help me out on maybe the location of the GPS antenna or something else? I sure appreciate it.

Thank You. I will check it out.

I will add that I did call the mechanic and told him about the issue. He said that there is a connector under the seat at the

frame brace. I am assuming that may just be an actual antenna, which is plugged up. What is the part up front?

I am not sure if he would have disturbed anything up front or not. He did have the motor completely out, but still, I am not sure.

Hi Marty, Welcome to Trike Talk

Maybe have the tech take a look at his work? As much as this problem sucks it should always be about customer satisfaction. Best of luck to you

Welcome to the Gang from Western Colorado.

Have you looked under the seat for a loose connector?

Yeah, I agree. It looks like it will be going back to him. I looked everywhere for a loose connector and found nothing.

Seems like all of that would have been tested before the customer picked the bike up.

Maybe give them a call. Explain the situation and if they have any suggestions for a place to look. Might save an unessary trip?

Did you try turning it off and on ? Maybe even discounting the power plug. that should do a reset. :Shrug:

Apple to Oranges here........But sometimes my radio and the info screen [Ride command on the Slingshot] would freeze on and even the back-up camera would not turn on....I just pull the radio fuse pop it right back in and everything works again..:Shrug:
