I have two 7" sky view screens and am still building, I went to start sky view today and it fired up for approx. five minutes then shut down and started cycling thru the boot cycle and kept going thru the boot cycle. This happens to both screens. Anybody have a clue what causes this

Given they are both doing it, and you're still building, our first guess would be that the power supply you are using cannot handle the load or your battery is discharged.

I had this. I was trying to use some cheap temporary cables which could not carry the required current.

Check cables up to spec, check ground is very good, check battery Voltage.

If you have 13.7V on the bus, you have a power supply, not a battery. Batteries are 12.6V fully charged and quickly drop to 12.2V.

First things to try:

Unplug all wires from one SkyView, and all but the main D37 harness from the second SkyView. Now power it on and see if it still reboots. If it does, put a voltmeter on your power bus for the SkyView and check the voltage.

Do you have standard breakers or fuses, or some sort of electronic or auto resetting fuses?

Sorry for the delay been out of state. I must of had a couple cans of dumb ass, the battery voltage of 13.7 was only a surface charge and as soon as a load was applied the voltage dropped to 8.8. Replaced battery and every thing working as advertised.
