No, the ST5000+ will not operate without a fluxgate compass, it starts with a connection into the back of the ST5000+, maybe you can chase from there. I would recommend locating the location of the fluxgate compass.

Steve,

It is a Grady White Bimini 306. I was just down at the boat tracing wires. In the back of that head unit everything was hooked up correctly by color code except for the "drive" wires-blue was on brown and brown was on blue. I then traced the NMEA+ wires (white and white with black stripe) these 2 wires splice into 2 larger wires with a green and yellow wire inside of it. It splits there and one of the wires goes to the back of the Furuno FCV-600L Sounder and the other goes into the Furuno 1712 Radar. I then tried to follow the compass wire and it looks like it is going into the Garmin 3010c Chartplotter. I still have not found a Fluxgate Compass and will continue the troubleshoot tomorrow. Can the drive wires that were hooked up opposite be part of the problem?
