My GPS module is not timing in; in other words, going from ON to OK after power is applied. Cycling power has no effect. Google says I need to remove the GPS cover and jiggle the wires. Does anyone know where this GPS cover is on the CEM70G mount?
Searching for this cover on Google is not getting me anywhere.

Re: CEM70G GPS
If you stand behind the Mount, the GPS is under a small rectangular plastic cover on the left lower side of the mount.
The Cem70 is well known for its connector problems.
And it is getting worse the older the mount gets. I had plenty of issues, lost connection to the Ioptron Commander, lost connection to the built in guide scope, lost connection to the GPS and so on.
Beginning off last year, I took the whole mount apart, cleaned all connectors with Caig Labs DoxIt and res-olderd all connectors on the boards ( and when I say "ALL ", I really mean it ) .
Since then, I don not ran into a single problem again.
