receiving less than 11 V of power
My accessories are not receiving power
• Verify the Garmin PowerSwitch device is receiving power from the vehicle battery.
• Verify that your vehicle's battery is supplying at least 12 V of power.
The Garmin PowerSwitch device turns off all outputs automatically to preserve your vehicle's battery if it is
receiving less than 11 V of power. Outputs turn back on when the device detects more than 12 V of power.
