Instrumentation screen has power, but gauges don't read

Post by Caskeycobalt »

Got on my boat this evening and the instrumentation screens kicked off just fine. However, the gauges didn't have a reading. (i.e. engine temp, rpm, trim, etc. didn't have any data. Neither did the depth finder. Wonder if it is just a blown fuse. If so, where is that devil so I can check it.

Hey CC. Welcome to the Cobaltchat forum. So glad you found us!

Circuit breakers are located under the dash. See anything popped?

How about a pic?

Again welcome aboard mate!

My bad what kind of boat do you have?
The signature line works great for this kind of info and where you are from?

Happens with my R5. Turn ignition off and restart and that usually works. Not that I should have too

Sounds to me like the nema2000 adapter that pulls from the ECU's is acting up. With it being a 2017 I would be taking it to the dealer for a warranty claim.

I have a 2019 R5 and recently the blower and gauges do not come on for about 2 minutes - usually after I have pulled out of the slip. Has anyone had that issue before. The red light for the blower comes on immediately
