Instrument gauges not working
« on: July 02, 2018, 15:31:46 pm »
On my way in yesterday, my gauges froze and stopped working, even the hour meter, any thoughts, maybe wiring or a fuse?

The digital gauges are unfortunately finicky. You could have something as simple as a dirty contact or a fried MDC. There were issues with the pitot tubes dumping water into the MDC and cracking it in the winter when it froze.  There is a good debugging procedure in the docs section. Basically it's disconnect all the gauges and then reconnect one at a time to see if there is a faulty one.

A couple of us have completely replaced the gauges with normal analog gauges. It's not overly difficult if you have to go that route but it is time intensive.

Glad to hear that this was as simple as needing a new battery.
