So I have been working on this issue for the last few years. The Taps gauge does not work, the plate works, but the gauge does not.
It is not the actuator, with the green wires, it only has 2 wire (Black/White) going to the actuator. There is a black box under the helm, and the other day I came across a replacement gauge (GP4494A) from online retailer. The one i removed, is a black face and the online one is white, the sticker on the old one looks to be (GP4434a) the only difference between them is color. Connection post all exactly the same.
After I swapped them the new gauge reads 5-4, old one would read 1 all the time, when powered up and moving the plate up and down.
So basically I think I'm down to the black box being the issue.
Can anyone tell me how to source the box?
Also can anyone tell me what voltage (signal) range the gauge signal wire should be? 0-5v? or ohm reading. I can generate a signal to test just need to know what type and range.
Thanks
