To all of my guages. Tach, Volt and Fuel guages. All toggles still work( lights/livewell/bilge pump). One red wire powers everything in dash cluster. But everything that is susposed to come on when I turn on the key does not.

Re: Lost all power

The gauges are powered by the Ign. circuit.........<br /><br />Sounds like it might be a Local Issue, Right in the Dash............<br /><br />Dig out your Test Light,+ Start Poking.........

What does purple wire in control box do? I cut it and taped it when warning buzzer shorted. I thought guages worked after that but maybe not.

Purple wire is switched 12V from the control box. It is only HOT when the ignition key is in the START or RUN position. This usually powers your gauges, stereo etc. Best untape and hook it back up after resolveing the short in the buzzer.
