    My GPS stopped working, anyone have any insight on this problem before I order a new GPS Module.

    Hi Eric,
    The GPS LED on the remote, does it keep flashing or is it completely off?
    Do you also have no reception when you stand still for a long time?
    You could perform a factory reset by reinstalling the firmware. If it is a software problem, this could help.
    The cable of the antenna is also still intact, and is not too tight. A cable that is too tight can become defective due to the vibration of the engine. Is the connector still dry, clean and properly connected? The GPS antenna also has a clear view of the sky (text on the antenna facing upwards).

      Hi Hans,

      The light is completely off. No GPS, unobstructed view of the sky. I will try the software reset first.

      Replacing the GPS module solved the problem.
