Garmin Gsd 21 Red Light Spot: 'check Wiring'

I did seriel Wiring GSD 21 with transom outside transducer to GPSMAP 276C as shown by Garmin but did not grond the two dislpay drain wires (white and green). Is that the reason for failure? The GSD 21 is spotting slow red light: "check wiring". Does enybody know how to proceed? Shall I connect the two remaining white and green displaywires to Batteryminus (black)? THX for any tip!, Roland from Germany, at the moment with my boat in Croatia.
