Situation description:
- SPX-5 autopilot
- ST6001 instrument, connected to SeatalkNG convertor, in it's turn connected to backbone
- ST6001 data wire runs through compartment underneath steering wheel pedestal, which also contains rudder quadrant
- situation occurs when autopilot NOT engaged but in standby
- situation: when steering wheel is fully turned to it's limit, ST6001 first indicates "seatalk error", then after a second or two, 2A fuse situated in SPX-5 course computer unit blows. I'm quite sure this happens when turning to starbord, not clear if it also happens when turning portside. Probably it does, but I haven't paid attention, nor tried.
Q: what are potential causes for this situation?
