No Gauge back-lights but have ballast gauge back lights?

[sjames]

2006 SANTE 220 I turned on the running lights tonight and got all lights except the dash gauge lights to come on? Any ideas or wiring diagrams? We are on the lake for a week so any advice would be very helpful for late evening runs.

The lights have worked previously.

I'll ask the obvious....did you check the breaker? I'm not sure if all lights are on the same breaker, but maybe the one for the gauge lights is tripped?

Check your faria gauge computer and see if the input plug is out or the dark blue wire is pulled out or has power going to it when the lights are on. It is mounted on the forward wall of the drivers side kick board.

Do you have a SE or LE/TE model? If SE you may have to do some checking to make sure you have power on the blue wire, breaker is not tripped, etc. If you have an LE/TE model, the lights on the dash can be adjusted/dimmed by the up/down arrows on either the tach or speedo (I forgot which). The lights need to be switched ON to then adjust the level. If you have an LE/TE model, this is the first thing I would try.

Breaker yes, and thanks for the other ideas I'll check tonight

How Do I tell the diff between SE/LT/TE, it is a 2006 Super air Team edition in this TE? Is there a mode for the up down arrow to do the dimming

[MHayes]

TE = Team Edition

Check indeed for lose wires. The ballast gauges should also have back lights (red).

ballast gauges work they light up, still trying other things
I did notice that while filling the tanks the gauges read E when I turn off the pumps they then read the level they are at?

I know this is an old thread but my 05 210 team edition just started having this problem. Any thoughts or where you able to fix this?

thanks

If your ballast lights are working... check the dimmer function. The dash has a dimmer functions with the up&down arrows of the speed or rpm gauge. The ballast gauges are not attached to that dimmer.

i checked that and they still dont turn on. Not a big deal but would be a nice to have!

Check out the wiring diagrams if you haven't already. I didn't see one for an 05 Team but the gauge lighting should be very similar for a signature edition. I am pretty sure the gauges are still daisy chained together in 05. If there isn't a solid connection to the first gauge in the line then nothing further down the line will work either. Could be as simple as a disconnected or corroded wire.
