jwilkins Posted August 28, 2012 Report Posted August 28, 2012 My Century 41 auto pilot operates properly for all functions and in all modes except NAV. The switch in the switch / control box is OK and the signal to the pin in the connector on the switch / control box is OK. Before I have the switch / control panel and computer shipped to Autopilot Central for repair I'd like to verify the cable assembly between the switch panel and the computer is OK to rule out any wiring / cable issue. Does anyone have a pin-out diagram for the computer so we can check that the NAV switch selector signal is actually getting to the computer OK? Thx, Jim Quote
OR75 Posted August 29, 2012 Report Posted August 29, 2012 check the century website. it has the wiring diagrams for the century 41 as a pdf file. centuryflight.com good luck. Quote
jwilkins Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Posted August 29, 2012 We were there before posting the question. Lots of good information but the drawings provided refer you to other drawings for connector wiring. What we are trying to figure out is what pin on the connector at the computer corresponds to programmer pin 8 /58. IOW, where is pin 58 at the computer connector? Thanks, Jim Quote
scottfromiowa Posted August 29, 2012 Report Posted August 29, 2012 This has been useful to me troubleshooting worn-out connector pins.... http://www.centuryflight.com/services/dsm/63D595.pdf Purchasing the Century 41 maintainance manual from Essco has been money well spent too... Quote
PilotKen Posted August 29, 2012 Report Posted August 29, 2012 This has been useful to me troubleshooting worn-out connector pins.... http://www.centuryflight.com/services/dsm/63D595.pdf So Programmer pin 8 (CD 168 on the programmer) goes to Pin 58 on CD185 on the Computer Purchasing the Century 41 maintenance manual from Essco has been money well spent too... (it's so strange when the forum posts using someone elses account!) Quote
jwilkins Posted August 30, 2012 Author Report Posted August 30, 2012 I had forgotten about Essco; I just bought the soft copy download version of the manual. Thanks. I was too cheap to spend the $250 at Century, but $80 is well worth the investment. Jim Quote
