Smartgauge problem - need advice

[starman]

Where are you? I happen to have a new one still in a box if you'd like to try plugging it in...

Kind offer - up on L&L nearish to Skipton

[WotEver]

What I need is someone in the pit garage to give me the secret work-around code (in-joke for F1 followers).

Chassis reset 01. Repeat, chassis reset 01.

But I still can't find eighth gear!

"Keep looking, they're all in the box somewhere"!

Just go straight past 7th.

Hmmmm. This Smargauge in its box is down here in Reading. A three week cruise I'd guess, or you can drive down to borrow it you wish!

 

Not sure I want to get into the risks of posting it though...

I have one a little closer to him than that - Coventry area.

 

That's if I can find it...

Kind offers but I can't help thinking that if the OP has 12v or so on the connectors on back of the gauge, swapping to a different SG isnt going to prove anything we don't already know.

But we don't know he has 12v on the back of the gauge 100% of the time. Only at the time he checks it.

So if the fault persists with a new SG, it's the boat. If it goes away, its his SG.

Shame! Thanks again for the offer - and to you Wotever.

 

Merlin say the unit has probably lunched itself when the boat was laid up over winter and the batteries went too low for too long. They'll repair it (which usually means chucking the innards away and putting new ones in) or offer me a replacement at a deal price. It'll be in the post as soon as I get a returns reference number from them.

Merlin are good to deal with.
