Gauges Dont work

[Billy_Pumba69]

I have a 1985 Force 125. The only gauge that works is the gas gauge, and its not even hooked to the motor directly. There is a tach and a speedometer, and a Lawrence bluewater Water temprature gauge. None of these work. WHY?

Re: Gauges Dont work

I think you need to specify a little more... but check teh wires leading to the tach.. And look at the speedo and see if it has a hose on it, and look on your transom for what its connected to (probably a wheel dealie or a fin with a hose coming off it. check those tubes/wires.

Billy_Bumba69,<br /> The gas gauge is not hooked directly to your motor/outboard. It's hooked to the sending unit on the top of your fuel tank. <br /><br /> On the tach and speedometer, look at all the connections and get yourself an OHM Meter and check levels.. that's the first place to start.<br /><br /> If you need an aftermarket tach, you can get one (20 pole) from Teleflex. I believe you can get a new speedometer there too.<br /><br />Good luck,<br /> Tim

Re: Gauges Dont work

If none of them work, there is probably one loose wire that affects them all. I haven't seen your gauges but if you look on the back, one of the posts should have a "G" (ground) beside it. This post needs a good connection to ground. Another post will likely have an "I" (ignition) beside it. Make sure that it gets 12V power when the ignition is on.
