When my autopilot displayed the “Searching for autopilot controller” message, the autopilot pump fuse blades were corroded. Cleaning those blades resolved the issue. However, the display never got beyond the “Searching….” message. You might have something else going on.

When this message appeared it turned out to be the reactor had fail (electrical compass). I'm sure several will suggest other possibilities. Call Garmin customer service and they will walk you through how to test it.

That happened to me and was resolved by unplugging controller from NMEA network and plugging in again.

+1 for disconnecting and reconnecting the controller from the NMEA network from the connection at the back of the controller.
