Hello All
After getting the boat out after winter storage, I have found that my Temp Gauge, Fuel Gauge, and Oil Pressure Gauge have all stopped working entirely. Here is some info:
My first assumption was wiring....so I have checked the purple ignition wire and black ground wire to all of these gauges. All of them are getting 12V consistently (and they are also jumper wired to the voltmeter/gauge which is working fine). Also, all of the dash fuses/breakers are fine and not popped. Not sure where to go from here, as it doesnt seem possible that 3 gauges would mysteriously fail over the winter.
I'm stumped - any guesses? Was hoping to take boat out tomorrow, but with no temp or oil pressure gauge I am hesitant.
Boat is a 1989 Baja Sunsport, 454 w/ Bravo Mercruiser Drive, if that matters
After getting the boat out after winter storage, I have found that my Temp Gauge, Fuel Gauge, and Oil Pressure Gauge have all stopped working entirely. Here is some info:
- No needle movement from these 3 gauges, 2 are pinned to max, 1 pinned to nothing
- The voltmeter/gauge DOES work
- I ran the boat for 10-15 minutes on the muffs with no changes to gauges
- All of these worked properly at the end of last season (I remember specifically checking temp + oil during final winterization)
