  3. Check the direct output voltage on the battery to confirm that everything is OK with the overall power of the machine.
  4. Check the power cord again, but this time do the voltage measurement on the power cable connector that connects to the GPS device; it should report 12VDC on the multi meter, with + - 10% error.
