Escort Smartcord Problem

[Grant]

In a couple of weeks I'm going to be drving several miles to Winter Fire School. Anyways, my X50 is hardwired into my truck and I'm not going to be driving it, but another to the school. I want to take my X50 along but when I went to plug my smartcord in today it didn't work. (The cord was working just a few weeks ago when I had it in another vehicle) The Smartcord lights up both ALERT and ON when I turn the unit on, but the X50 doesn't do a thing. When I turn the unit off both lights turn back off. I was just wondering if anyone knows what the problem may be. Thanks A lot!

^Agree, sounds like a question for the Escort Radar folks.

Try pushing the on button on the RD. (not trynna be a jack*ss) Lol It sounds dumb, but I had something similar happen when I moved my 9500ix. Power cord clicked and lit up power, but RD was off, and I pushed the power button and it turned on.

Otherwise, go with what the others said and try talking with Escort.

Thanks for the replies! I have literally tried every sequence I can think of to start the unit up, but no dice. I think I will contact Escort personally on Monday.

By chance did you get to check the fuse? It could have blown a fuse.

Sounds like the X50 needs serviced to me. Call our service dept, the number is in my signature below

The only advice
I can give you is take apart the smartcord and check the wiring / fuse connections other than that I'd try another smartcord as it works W/ the hardwire
