Garmin will send a 3rd cable... They said the multimeter is not supposed to read 10V, should be reading 5V. No shit...

If you are getting 10 volts at the pins the cable is faulty. The little black box steps the 12 volt supply down to 5 volts for the XT. Just noticed! the red lead on your multimeter is in the wrong hole! it should be on 'DC' not AC. Move it & retry. Hey simoncrewe ! I also found it strange. I also ...

I'm actually getting 10v at the pins

I'll return the full unit tomorrow. Maybe get a TomTom or something that actually works like it's supposed to work...

Got a new power cable from Garmin. The pins on this one seem ok. Mounted the cradle and still no charging.

I should have a 5volt read on my multimeter if I check the pins right?

Well... I went on and installed the missing screw. Still no charging. While doing so, I've realized that one of the two pin connectors is loose. The cable is definitely defective.

I will call the seller monday morning. Let's see how long it takes to get a replacement...

Hello guys,

Just installed my Zumo XT. Used the heatshrink hooks and connected directly to the motorcycle's battery (which is in great condition).

Now when I attach the GPS unit to the cradle it won't charge.

Am I missing something? Or is this a case of bad wiring?
