Gauges do not work

[lundtland]

I have a 2004 Switch V. I have been trying to get my gauges working for over a month now. I was at a dealer. I have been talking with people at Tige'.
Non of the following work:
Speed-O
Fuel
Tach
Oil
Water temp.
TAPSII
These work:
Volts
Hour meter
All lights
Blower
Blidge
Horn
Radio
Engine runs great.

I have been looking for a fuse pannel. I can't find one anywhere.
What am I missing, where do I look?

Do you have a volt meter or test light, if so go to the back of non working guages and check power and grounds, there should be a purple power wire to each with key on and a black ground and normally a blue wire for dash light.
That year had push in circut breakers on the dash and all should be powered off one, if some work I dont thats the problem, just follow the purple wire.

the volt is part of a 4 in 1 set, so we know that that gauge has power.
My are all wired in a loop ( Series) to each other and seeing how the speed-o is not working I would guess that one of the jumpers fell off. ( the speed-o does not come off the engine)
send me your email and i will tray and take some picks from my boat

Ok one thing, none of these work untill the Key is turned on.

You might double check make sure a ground wire didnt come loose on them since they are daisy chained together. Just track down the start of the ground wire.

I have the entire gauge pannel out so I can see it. I have been wire by wire checking the conections. Currently I have the tach all the way out and I have removed all jumpers to make sure there is not power or ground bleeding. I only have the power, ground and signal wire attached. Hour meter comes on but that is it. Does anyone have a wireing diagram that says what color wire is what?

Here are two pictures of the gauge panel out.

It may not be the problem but what is the loose connector

[whitlock87]

I was looking at mine, and it’s strange, as the TAPS work on its own and the Speedo also gets it own input completely separate from all the others. The only thing they all have in common is the main power once the key switch is turned on.

[lundtland]

That is a ground jumper from the TAPS gauge to the speedo. I started to remove wires then I stoped and took a picture before I had the whole thing tore apart.

Any luck on getting your gauges going? My engine temp and fuel gauge have neathier worked since I bought it and its also a 04.

On your temp and fuel guage. Get a test light ground it to a good known ground wire. Then probe the (+) wire going to each guage. If your getting good volts to the guage, unhook the signal wire (-) and probe it with your test light. It should cause the guages to jump grounding thru your light. If it does the guage is good and its a bad temp probe or gas meter in the tank or bad wire going to the components. If not the guage is bad. Most of the time though its a wire, bad connection, or bad sending unit. Both the temp and sending unit in the gas tank are prety easy to change out once you get down to them. The fuel sending unit is easy to check to see if its bad, temp is little harder.
