The panel lights all work, I had the boat out last night. All fuses
check ok. I am assuming the gauges has the feed from sending unit, a
12 volt source and a ground

Has anyone had a similiar issue with gauges not working, both the fuel
and temp are not working. I do have a meter and looking for a few
troubleshooting techniques.

Thanks

Robert

Most of that stuff is daisy chained. Hint: The panel lights and
instruments
usually share the same grounds. If the panel lights work on those gauges,
the problem is most likely with the +12v.

It just occurred to me that you may be powering your panel lights from the
ignition switch. In that case the gauge and panel light hot wires are
probably joined together. Why don't you try grounding the sender leads at
the senders. They should peg the meters. If nothing happens try again
grounding the sender wires at the back of the meters. Careful, there's 12V
there.
