2022 AR 250 Connext issues

[Cody1bud]

Hello all, I am currently having issues with my 2022 AR250 Connext. Nothing on the joystick works, the depth sounder and water temp don't connect, and the running lights and anchor light dont work. I winterized the boat and all worked fine. Then i started in the spring and all the problems started.

Blown fuse for sure or missed a ground on the batteries

I wish it was. I cant find a blown fuse or a loose connection.

So I was messing around and changed something. The home screen on the connext is tottmally different now. The maps are gone, throttle button on thr upper right is new, and many other buttons changed

You can change the context based on your boat, IE you change to be set from an AR to a SE to an XD. It gives you different buttons and features.

To your original question - this is usually a sign of failure on the CAN network. However just sitting all winter and not working is odd. I would ensure your batteries are fully charged on a tender and then reinstall them.

If you boat in salt, it could be your swim deck controller, it will usually show some signs of rust. Transducer failure is very common as well. If it's transducer, we offer a harness to get you into an aftermarket one for less than OEM.

I fugured it was something like that in settings. How do i change it back to AR? Also now its saying it cant connect to the port engine and/or starboard engine then i click ok and the boat still runs.
The problems are
1. No connection to The transducer
2. No connection to the controller (Dial on the helm)
3. No lights, interior, running. or anchor
4. Screen needs changed back to AR boat style screen.

First and foremost - I would make sure batteries are charged and then also make sure you hooked up all wires correctly. I see a lot of people missing the ground.

I don't exactly remember the procedure to change, I think go to the setting menu, go to where there is one bar missing on the bottom right and hold or press for 15-20 seconds. I could be off base there, it's been a long time.
