• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Zumo 590 wont charge on my 2015 RTSS

I have a Zumo 590 which was installed by the dealer 3 years ago on my 2015 RTSS. It worked fine the last 2 years and now this year it decided it does not want to charge on the base. It goes on the bike with a full charge and 3-4 hours later it shows low battery. The contacts are clean and the mount pins are clean and spring back like they should. The unit sits in the base tight. Any ideas????? Is there a setting in the unit that tells it to charge on the base? Thanks for the help.
 
Check the fuse that goes from your base to the battery and check the base negative and positive wires to the battery.
 
Unit can charge off the bike?:dontknow: Definitely check fuses, connections, meter test the pins
 
If it works properly when you're riding but just doesn't hold a charge, you might just need a new battery.
 
As suggested, check fuses and connections. FWIW, Garmin replaced the battery under warranty in my 590 with less than a year on it because it would not fully charge during each ride and as I shut down the engine I got a low battery warning on the Zumo screen. They had me charge my Zumo on my computer three successive times and it would never come to a full charge.
 
Sumo won't charge

Google 'Zumo 590 won't charge' - I did this to mine and it works fine now & keeps a charge
