no power to gauges and ignition switch

[william haynes]

I have a 2015 bass tracker txw 175 bass boat. I noticed the fuel gauge was reading full all the time. Took the dash loose and found a wire had come unplugged on the fuel gauge. power came back to the gauges and ignition. I turned the key a few times and the gas gauge worked perfectly four times then everything on the dash stopped working. turn the key and nothing. made sure the kill switch was plugged in. need help. thanks

start by following the wiring to see where you have power and where you lost power.

I had power to the gauges and the fuel gauge when I plugged the wire back into the fuel gauge and after turning the ignition switch on and off a few times the gauges, trim, etc was working then all of a sudden everything stopped working again. The battery is fully charged. I have checked the fuses and none are blown. Do you know if there is a main fuse that powers the dash and ignition that I might be missing?

take a volt meter. start at the battery cable going to the key switch and check from there.

There is no power at the key switch. No power to trim, depth finder on bow, trim switch on bow. The only thing that has power is the live wells and the bilge pump. I have checked all the fuses from the battery, motor fuses and the ones under the dash. There is no power to any of the gauges, the trim on the throttle or the bow trolling motor.

then start at the batteries. you have a bad connection somewhere.
