[1000mp] Tuner Unit

[Roy Westra]

Are you sure your getting power out? Have you checked it with a meter? A few
years ago my antenna tuner did the same thing, when I sent it in for repair
it turned out that the RF unit went bad and the tuner stayed on because
there really was no power going out.

Check with Byron Cambell at Electronic Equipment Repair
http://www.qsl.net/wa4geg/  He's the FT 1000 guru, that's all he works on,
email him about it, Byron is a very good tech and honest, if he doesn't
know, no one does. His website is full of useful information, check here for
what he has to say about the ATU  http://www.hamradiobug.com/ATUnotes.html

I know you did the reset already, menu 8-8 turns the tuner off/on,
try toggling that between off and on a few times, maybe it will jump start
something, just a thought.
