Haven't had a chance to try the reset yet. I assume the only ground issue there could be would be from the prong on the actual unit (that appears clean to me) since I can power up a different unit at the same location with no problems.

After thinking on it more, The HDS unit AND the LSS unit call for a 3 amp inline fuse on EACH of their power wires. I only put one inline fuse on the wire that they are BOTH powered from instead of having a fuse on both of their power cables. I remind you I have 0 experience wiring anything other than research online, and through the lowrance manuals. In my mind it seemed like if I put the fuse on the wire coming from the positive on the battery that powers both the LSS and HDS, I could get away with only needing one fuse and cut down on unnecessary connections that could eventually corrode.

I would think any short would blow the fuse and power down both the LSS and the HDS. Did I mess up real bad? lol
