HELP - No power to Faria Gauges

[geoffc210]

Need help - After installing another amp - I have NO power to the faria gauges :shock: . Everything else works fine. I can not find any problem. Does anyone know what might fix this or where to start looking? Nothing works. No tach, speedometer, fuel, battery, etc.. Perfect pass lights up like normal and all features from the keyless pad work fine.

I'm not sure, hope you did not short the brain -- check the fuses :?:

Thanks KRS - I am worried I might have fried something - do you know where the fuses are for the gauges?

RE: HELP - No power to Faria Gauges

Can't help you there, the only fuses I know of are up under the dash, mounted on the kick wall, and I thought they would reset once tripped?? -- You might want to check your manual if you have one or check this link http://www.planetnautique.com/index....iewtopic&t=367

Good luck

RE: HELP - No power to Faria Gauges

did you nick any wires or disconnect them from anywhere? Kind of odd to not even have power at the battery. Do you have a good connection at the battery?

Is your kill switch still connected ?

[geoffc210]

I don't believe I nicked any wires or disconnected anything on accident. I did disconnect the power and ground wires going to the "brain" box and did see 12V going to the unit. However, nothing is powered at the dash (except for the keyless ignition, stereo and PP). I am worried now that I might have "fried" something internal. I am going to try and call Faria and my dealer today and work on this some more.

I did remove the kill switch and forgot to reinstall. I was hoping this was the problem, but still no power at the dash. Would this have tripped something that needs reset? Everything else works on the boat except the gauges.

Does anyone know how I can check one of the gauges wires to see if there is any power at the gauges?

have you rewired the kill switch the right way ? two terminals bridge when the "button" is pushed in the other two bridge when the "button" ie when the cord is pulled off.

worth another look IMHO.

[dave210]

the kill switch has nothing to do with the pod it turns off the fuel pump relay

[dave210]

what did you connect the amp to on the pod

[dave210]

check the breakers on the motor

I have an 01 pan... dont know if the 03 is the same... but my large white/clear plastic 9 or 12 pin connector is definately not aircraft quaility... try disconnecting it and reseating... add some dielectric grease to that connecton if it has corrosion.. it sounds like your not getting a good ground or power to the insturments... probably just a bad connection... power is fed via a relay... from the cb box...
