SubscriberHi Steve: New problem just started on my 2005 Warrior. When I turn on the ignition switch the guages light up like normal, however after 5 to 8 seconds the display fades out to blank. This happens whether the bike is running or not. The battery is approx. 2 years old and was charged to a reading of 12.6 volts. The bike has been in storage for 4 to 5 months. Could a shorted battery cause this?
Any thoughts?
Thanks,

EditorYou’ll need to do a load test on the battery to determine if you have a bad cell.

SubscriberThanks for the input. Did a load test and charged battery, everything turns out 100% Any thoughts?

EditorSince the battery tests fine and assuming the rest of the electrical works fine, I’d say the speedo needs to be replaced.

SubscriberUpdate. I contacted Dakota and they walked me through how to test the guage unit. Turns out there was a bad circuit breaker in the power section of the guage, caused by my battery charger and leaving it hooked up while I started the bike, power spike. I took the unit off and sent it to Dakota for repairs. Great company to do business with.
Only charged me $50.00 bucks to repair and send back.
Took 1 week. Thanks for all the input.loop-single-reply.php
