[CA] [CA11] What can I replace an S1 Pilot computer with?

[OldPete]

Update time!

I have done a complete testing of all components. Here is my report.

1) If I disconnect the Type 1 Pump, I still get the "Current Limit" error.

2) The Type 1 pump draws between 2-4Amps. Usually toward the high 3.7x-ish side. This was tested with a fresh 12v battery directly to the pump, alternating polarity to allow travel in both directions.

3) I have bypassed all other wiring to the computer to eliminate factors particular to the boat's wiring.

So my questions.

1) Could you still get a "Current Limit" error with the Type 1 pump not installed? If I push Standby, (with pump not installed) it will go to Standby for about 8 seconds, then return to Current Limit.

2) Could my meter be off enough (calibration-wise) to where being on the high side of the amp-draw (actually over Chuck's spec of 1-3) where the pump may be OK?

3) Could there be a big enough air "pocket" in the line causing this amperage issue?

4) Does the amperage issue even matter if #1 (above) is at it is (when pump not even connected?

I feel I'm getting really close to diagnosing this... and appreciate the help. :)

Thanks,
Pete
