New gauge readings

[team118]

I'm going to try that

I'll disconnect the sending unit and try that. I didn't use any sealant on the sending units, the instructions didn't ask or require sealant....

Do you think the gauges being connected to the panel is grounding all three gauges? I notice the fuel guage works fine, but it is a plastice housing?

Thanks

On every gauge I have, the case of the gauge is ground. That being said, the ground terminals of the gauges are connected to ground. Use a meter to check for ground and B+ on the gauges. You probably have a wire or two swapped.

What a dumb frack I am....

The fuel gauge from Telix has the ground on the left terminal, the Stewart Warner gauges are different.

A closer look and I realized as all of you have said....the wires were screwed up!

Well I unscrewed them and lo and behold...gauges that work.

I want to thank all of you for taking the time to help and to check back once and while to keep me honest!

Happy Sailing!

No worries Chris! That is what we are here for


Don't forget to take some pics for us fellow Catalina owners..I still have the stock (FUNKY) gauge cluster. I recently added a tach and hung it under the counter top down below
