dead gauges on 06 210 team

[speck]

just the other night all the gauges except the perfect pass froze. the keypad still works normally, the stereo remote works normally. the backlight for the remote works but no lights in the gauges come on. the tach is stuck at 2500 i am assuming its last reading. nothing will reset after turning it on or off. i looked for breakers for these to no avail. it seams the gauges are not fused. i looked under the dash and it appears normal, then under the kickpanel. attacted to the kickpanel is the main black box, then there is another black box held up to the boat back undeneath. i see the labels on it and of couse it has to do with the gauges so i unhook the power supply and the PP went out, so i know it is getting power, when i plugged it back in the PP came back on but nothing else.
any ideas?

It needs a new Faria box. As long as you are the original owner, the parts and labor are covered under warranty.

thanks for responding, yes i am the original owner. when i talked to tech at the dealership the only thing that was odd was that the PP was still working, but nothing else. usually it is all or nothing with those things. the "gateway" is what he called it, and there is no other breakers for it and the real way to tell (since we know it is already getting power) is to hook up another one and see.

I know that I am responding to an old post, but I just had exactly the same thing happen with my 2003 ski 206. Did the new faria box fix your problem or was there some other issue? I am way out of warranty so don't want to buy the box if this is not the issue. thanks for any help.

yes it did. The "gateway" box is the black box under the dash. It is a sealed box and has the wire connections. It fried and the gages froze. A new one was shipped to me and I installed it. Problem solved. I was told it was about $800, but that is in Canada and almost 8 years ago....

Good luck finding a gateway box for an '03 - '05. They're no longer available from Nautique or Faria. Even NautiqueParts is out of stock.

Thanks guys for the quick reply. I guess you call that good news/bad news. I know what the problem is but I can't fix it. If I cannot find the parts, does anyone have any idea what I do next? Surely I am not stuck with dead gauges forever and surely a 2003 CC is not ready for the junk heap.

I might have the box that you need. Please pm me if interested.

03-05 parts are now in stock. At least they were last week. I had the same problem on my 05 210 TE a month ago, but for some reason they are all working now. I have the kit on order also. Has anyone heard of this happening?
