Why are the gauges not working on my Skidoo?
Why are the gauges not working on my Skidoo?
I think my battery was initially low, caused an error, and now the system won’t reset. Installed the new battery, started sled, and the Tach, Speedometer didn’t work. Temp gage, and battery light still on. Disassembled all the connectors on the machine, removed all the excess grease (manufacturer applied), and started sled…..
What should I do if my gauges are not working?
The first step in diagnosing this type of issue is to identify the fuse associated with the instrument cluster or gauges. The fuse should have power on both sides when the ignition key is turned to the on position.
Why are the lights not working on my Skidoo?
Took the fuse from beside it and voila, everything worked and no surprise the headlights weren’t on. ANYway, back to square one, JUST the needles aren’t working, its not the relay, and it blew a fuse.
Why does my car gauge read cold when I Turn on the ignition?
With the ignition on, the gauge should register cold. If you connect the sending unit wire to ground, the gauge should switch to read hot. If the gauge moves as expected, then you can suspect a bad sending unit. If the gauge doesn’t move when you ground out the sensor wire, then you can suspect a bad gauge.
