I have an eight old eTrex Vista (none colour) which stopped sending and
receiving data from the computer all other functions work normally,
after trying a friends we found the fault lay with my vista and on
getting into it found two wires had snapped from the data connection on
the back of the gps. My question is can anyone tell me the colour
sequence of the wiring looking at the back while open the colours are
from left to right still connected red blue then two that need
reconnecting are the yellow and black but I知 not certain of their order.
Thanks for any help.

Try page 47 in the users manual. It can be downloaded from
garmin.com.

Thanks for the pointer although nothing on the wiring on page 47 of the
manual for my eTrex Vista but was on page 64.
While I知 on thought I would say it痴 alive and kicking again and the
sequence went red blue yellow black.
Thanks again,
MP

Sorry, I used the page number for the current manual. I did not know
where to get the older one. But it gave you somewhere to start.
Glad its working again.

I was confused for a minute. You said that the fault was with your vista
and that two wires were broken on the GPS unit.

I though "How could that be?", until I finally realized that you meant your
eTrex Vista, not your Windows Vista.

Thanks for giving me a chance to laugh at myself :-)
