HELP - No power to Faria Gauges

[Frost]

See if you can contact your dealer and ask them to check your "Faria Gateway Bus Wire" This is the wire that runs from the Gateway (brain) to the pod gauges, if you have power going into the gateway then the next place to look would be that wire.

The wire is coming out of P3,it's a black sheilded wire that will connect to the pod, trace this wire to back to the pod to make sure everything is alright with it.

Dave 210,

The kill switch provides power to the engine relays, these then power the ecu. The ecu then sends a signal to the gateway box, then a signal to the instruments.
It may not be the fault but it is worth checking.

Do the lights work on the gauges? if you have nothing on the Faria gauges working it's going to be either that bus wire or the box.

I called Faira yesterday. The guy who I needed to talk to was out of the office and they said he would call me back Tuesday (today). He called back early in the morning and gave me a few other things to check when I get back home. I am VERY pleased with Faria's response to my problem so far and hope it continues through resolution. The guy who called me back was very knowledgable(sp?) about the 03 set up and gave me a couple other points to check for power. I will keep you posted as this gets resolved.

Thanks to all for trying to help!

If you disconnected the teather switch you could have installed the wires on the wrong terminals but check to see if you have power coming to the purple wires at the switch. Then check your breaker box on the kick panel on the drivers side to see if any breaker is tripped.

It ended up being the switch itself. I checked the resistance across the switch when it was supposed to be "on" and determined that the switch was bad. As I was trying to take it off - somehow it made contact and now everything is working fine. I pulled the lanyard - it stopped - I re-installed the lanyard and it came back on. I tested this a few times and everything appears to be in good order. I am going to contact my dealer to see if he thinks I should go ahead and replace it or wait till it finally fails for good.

Replace the swithc so you don't worry when it is going to crap out on you.

new one is on order - no charge of course
