fuel and temp guages

[rogersti]

While riding the temp and fuel gauges stopped working. Checked the fuses and all looked good. Where do I go from here ?

The first thing I suspect is the "tail(main)relay" #3 and it's supply fuse (15 amp) #8...
Combined,they supply the 12 volts to both gauges...
Before you run over to GN Gonzales to buy a new relay($$$)..borrow one from a different slot and test it.If it is the problem,a auto parts place should have a suitable replacement...

By the way,did you notice if the instrument panel lights went off too.?..There on the same circuit.
And welcome to the site..

Thanks, i'll try that. yes the panel went out also. will let you know if that's the culprit.

It might be difficult to remove the cover.just saying.The saddlebag is kinda close fitting.

[rogersti]

That did the trick. Thanks a bunch

Great.Probably a good idea to keep a spare one on the bike with the other stuff.

Hasnt WA gone into the "supply of relays" business as well. He purchased a batch of them, and they go like hot cakes on a cold day!

I purchased a big batch of them and they sold out so fast I was left spinning. I purchased another (bigger) batch of them before the newsletter went out last weekend, and sold out of those in 11 hours!!

I've now got a huge order of them on their way here, I expect them here on Saturday or Monday. I'll fill the outstanding orders...and then I'm sure all order activity will immediately cease because everyone's already got as many as they need, and I'll be left with hundreds of relays sitting in a box.

I doubt that you will be left holding the bag full of relays, as I have not ordered some spares yet. And I am sure that others have yet to purchase. With winter coming on, it will be the season for changing relays!
