I have a well loved 1996 GTX the info gauge is no longer working. I’m able to find plenty of working 1997 gauges but they don’t seem to be interchangeable there Has to be somebody out there that can fix these things or if anyone has a 1996 working info gauge please let me know

You can change the plugs on the 97 and connect the wires. I've done that on a few gauges. They pretty much all use the same wires. Download the repair manual and the wiring diagrams are in the last few pages.
Did you test the gauge on the 96" ? Are you getting power to the gauge?

i had no idea temp....thanks for that.
Yep just follow the wires and which instrument they are currently connected to to verify. I haven't looked at your diagrams but there is a red wire on the 1996 GTX info gauge wich needs 12 volts or the gauge won't come on. The power to the info gauge generally comes from the speedometer. I've used gauges of different skis. The prices people want for these things are unbelievably crazy. When I find a cheap one I buy it. LOL
Yes the plugs are different for the different model years. Buy the tool that allows you to disassemble the wires and put them in the plugs for your ski. That's the correct way. Splicing wires works but I don't like doing that unless I Have to. Good Luck !!

I have moved the pins around in the plugs so they match schematic PIN numbers, with success. Snap-on makes a pin removing tool that works well. Just compare the two schematics, one for your ski, and the schematic for the ski the new gauge came out of,
Then move pins as necessary on he plug for the new lcd gauge. You can’t change the mpem pins obviously
