Default ISF GPS issue

I have searched and can not find what the issue is, only dead ends, had NAV out a lil while ago for screen repair, put it back in and not it is not accurate, no GPS logo under the compass on the screen, so I assume the GPS plug is not seated all the way in( this is all my search info returned) , removed and checked all the plugs and they seemed all plugged in good.....but I don't know which is the GPS antenna that I really need to be focusing on, can someone help me?

Pretty sure the GPS signal antennae is the one circled here.

^^^^^^ Thank you..... does anyone know if the GPS antenna can stop working?
This will be my next step if the plug is seated correctly and still no GPS signal.

Assuming you have an DVD MAP based IS F .....did you try ejecting the CD, and reloading?

I had a GPS ant go bad on an Eclipse (Fujitsu) unit. Same manufacturer as our units. Not likely but possible.

It was working fine , until the screen went bad, had it out for a few weeks for repair, when I put it back in is when all the issues with loosing GPS signal, but will try to eject the nav disc and see if this helps ( sorta re boot it )

ok, I have fixed the problem, it was simply came unplugged, however it is not the blue one circled above...but a grey single plug by its self, on the pic above its just barely visible at the top LH part of the pic( above and to the left of the white sticker that says U 0) plugged it is, GPS logo was under the compass and it knew where I was after just a few seconds, hope this helps someone in the future.
