Seadoo XP 2001 gauges - Urgent Please

Hi!

I already serched the forum, but didn't found anything that solve my problem.
I have a Seadoo XP from 2001, and the last time I used, the following gauges stop working :

rpm
speed
VTS

the only one working os the fuel gauge.

what can I do?
it was a time when the speed some times work and others no, but now...

The VTS goes up and down, so it works, but the gauge no..

Time to do a thorough cleaning & dielectric greaseing of the complete wire harness
connector pins male & female, fuses male & female, ohming to find the trouble spot.
could be a broke wire, but usually a dirty ground. Bills86e

 

[luiznunes]

is there any tutorial to help me do that?

 

[luiznunes]

or any electrical guide.. please

Familiarize with your Shop Manual, and : http://www.seadoowarehouse.com/

Inspect male pins for any oxidation and remove with alcohol cleaner & fine emery cloth on male pins, buy a #55 drill bit for female, it should fit, but do not enlarge,
fix any that are loose fit. A DETENT tool costs about ten bucks from Radio Shack,
if you need to remove any from connectors. You probly will find your gauge harness
problem at the MPEM connection. Do not push Ohmeter probes in Female connectors.

sorry for being annoying, but what do you mean with "Do no push Ohmeter probes in female connectors" ?

 

[Bills86e]

It means Do Not Do That, the probes are a larger diameter, and once stuck in there,
the pin on the connector will fail to transfer the electronic signals.
Certified trained Techs use an adapter plug for Ohmeter testing purposes. Bills86e

OMG, that's a lot of wires coming out of the gauges. what should I measure? with the battery on?

 

[luiznunes]

is there any common power supply to the gauges, that I can check for any failure?
