All, 
The weekend's project is to trace down the dead autopilot. Looking for ideas
about likely suspects to prioritize the process. Standard Raymarine
Wheelpilot- X5? Been working great for years. Chugging up the river trying
to beat the rain last Sunday after a weekend out and it died. Actual symptom
is the breaker blew so the depth, wind, speed and auto went dark. After
getting back on course, had the Admiral flip the breaker and all the units
came back including right heading numbers on the auto pilot but engaging the
autopilot did nothing (not even a whimper out of the motor)  except blow the
breaker again. So we hand steered home and left the issue for another day.
Shorted wires, dead motor, or ?  Worked fine going out and halfway back. No
event- (wake, rain, course change) it just stopped. It was not working hard.
Anyone have any ideas on what voltages I should see where.  There is a
rudder position indicator in the mix. Looking for a 'Mine did that and it
was the ____________" 
Thanks
