Navigation went out
Hi guys
Just had a problem occur with my navigation last week. I last drove the car on a Friday and didn't drive it till Tuesday and nothing was wrong on Friday.
The entire screen is black, the climate, info, defog, everything on the top part of the navigation doesn't work, no lights turn on as well.
I checked the fuses and everything works except for one 7.5 on the driver side
The only thing I installed was LED signals that I bought from a seller on here, but the seller did a poor job with the sealing which resulted in water leaking into both signals.
Besides the fuses, I can only thing of the relay having issues, unless there is a loose wire that connects the navigation.
Anyone have any ideas what might be the problem?
Thanks!

I have a 2006, and a few weeks ago my navigation went out as well. The climate, audio, info, and display all appear on the screen when pushing the buttons. When in reverse, the back up camera displays on the screen as well. However, when I push either of the three navigation-related buttons I get a message appear at the top of the screen that says "External system not connected". As it turns out, the nav ECU crapped out. A new one will be about $1500, so it's a good thing I rarely used the navigation anyway. It just sucks that I have to look at a black screen.
As for your problem, a little more detail would be great to help give suggestions on probable causes. You said one fuse wasn't working. Did you replace it? And have you checked to see if any wires were broken or loose? That's where I would start first. If that doesn't fix it, try to post more details on what works and doesn't work.

I replaced the fuse and still no power goes to it, I used a test light to find out if there is power or not.
I didn't take the navi out yet but I did order a new defog relay for cheap to see if that was the case since no power is going to the middle 7.5 fuse on the driver side
Could the water leakage in the signals caused this problem?

Have you looked in the manual to see what that 7.5 fuse powers?
And water can definitely wreak havoc on electrical wiring. It's just hard to say if that's what is causing your problem without knowing what wiring the water has come in contact with.

I'm hoping it might be the relay or a loose wire, strange thing is that the clock and emergency light still work and the emergency light button still lights up when I turn my lights on at night but the rest of the navi is dead

I replaced my battery with a red top optima and it still hasn't fixed the issue.
