My temp, fuel, and battery gauges are not working. The speedometer and oil pressure gauge work. The breakers are fine. Any suggestions?

I think this is a common problem on 06 and earlier boats with the Faria analog gauge system. check this thread for instance:

If you search in the maintenance forum for "faria" and "dead" or "analog" you find many issues with the gateway boxes that convert the various signals to feed to the displays. I think there is a conversion that can be done, but I think its fairly expensive.

I just had to spend $1500.00 to repair this problem. The Faria box contains water ports inside that go to the speedo. These eventually fail which fills the box with water- obviously bad for circuit boards. Correct craft has not returned multiple emails and letters I have sent to them so do not expect them to help with repair. Good luckComment

I wonder if that is why they sometimes fail at different times? as the box fills up it covers additional circuits, shorting them out, causing them to quit working??Originally posted by trabecula View PostComment

I have a 2005, the gauges work fine but my tachometer and speedometer stopped working. Is there something else to check before I have to buy a new Faria box?Comment

Unfortunately, neither Correct Craft or Faria have any more boxes available. You have to convert the entire instrument panel to analog guages. This means rewiring also.Comment

Sounds like I have the same problem... Picked up my boat this weekend and the Fuel, volt, and oil pressure gauges don't work. I can scroll through on the digital display and see everything. If anyone can confirm that I have the same problem and the only fix is the 1k kit I would appreciate the feed back.Comment

I'm having a similar issue with my 05 SANTE. My fuel gauge was not working but the tach read it fine. I changed my fuel gauge and now my fuel gauge is reading properly but my volt meter and temp gauge stopped working. I plugged in the old fuel gauge and the volt meter and temp gauge still did not work. Any suggestions?Comment

You might be the unfortunate owner of another Faria box that has gone bad. Correct Craft will not address this defect so it seems you are on your own. The repair is to replace all guages with an "analog kit" that you can purchase from Correct Craft. The repair with parts seems to run about $1500.00. Good luck.Comment

Don't give up on your faria box just yet. In an earlier thread, I explained a fix that worked for me. Take the box off the transom and open it up. Drain the water and then gently scrub the circuit board with rubbing alcohol and a toothbrush. Hit the contacts with some emory paper. Let the whole thing dry out and put it back together. Do NOT reattach the tubes from the speedo pick-ups. Plug or cap the tubes. I did this a month ago and everything (except, of course, the speedos) is working great. I plan to replace the speedo with a stand-alone GPS speedo, but for now the PP speedo is sufficient. Did not cost a dime and probably took less than an hour of time. If, as you reported, only a few of your gauges are jank, there is a good chance that the whole thing is not fried yet and this fix might be successful.Comment

gatorgates thanks for the info I must have missed your comments on the other thread. I will try this tomorrow and update if this fixes my gauges.Comment

I cannot get the gateway box open.... any tricks on doing so without hacking it up?Comment

I uses a really skinny small flat head screwdriver. Kept working it around to split the seal. Took my time didn't rush it.

So did anybody ever find the fix for this rather than just assume it's a gateway because I have the same problem and I don't see why the Gateway would read it out on the tachometer digital gauge but not on the actual gauge if somebody could explain that that would be great because I don't want to just start dropping money on random partsComment
