Why does my Garmin GPSMAP 702 keep turning off?

If your Garmin GPS device isn't turning on or keeps turning off, first, ensure the power source is working by checking if other devices connected to it are functioning. Then, inspect the fuse in the power cable, located in the red wire's holder, and confirm it's the correct size according to the cable label or installation instructions. Use a multimeter to check the fuse; a good fuse reads 0 ohm. Also, verify the device receives at least 10V, preferably 12V, by measuring the voltage at the power cable's female power and ground sockets. If the voltage is below 10V, the device won't power on.
