Flying RV-12iS with Garmin dual G3X system. Occasionally the NAV/STROBE fuse will blow and when it does the G3X displays go dark. Are the G3X screens routed through the NAV/STROBE fuse? It doesn't seem so as the autopilot continues working and I can twist the heading bug knob to change direction even with dark screens. Also, once the fuse is changed out for a new fuse the G3X displays light up again without the units rebooting. They just pick up as if I had turned down the dimmer knob then turned it bright again.
I've pulled both wingtip AERO lights and checked the wiring for any nicks in the insulation but both sides look perfect. Any suggestion on what I should check next for the source of the fuse blowing?
