While you are here. Any theories why only one light (Empty) is out all the time but the other three lights work fine? So I know it’s empty now when no lights are on, so not really a problem needing a fix.
Fresh Water Tank Gauge Inop.

Typically it’s a bad solder joint. I resolder all. Pretty quick job.

Me too. My freshwater indicator reads full all the time. May I send it to you for the fix?
Thanks

Hijacking this thread, has anyone added a meter where there was none? AKA my 290?
Thanks

Big shout out to speakerdude for laying out this repair step by step. Very much appreciated. I did the repair today and tank gauge is working like new again.

Well, the monitor is working. Tested on the bench, but installed on the boat all I see is empty and 1/4. The sender ohmed out OK. Might have a wiring issue. Project for another day.

So this is what my fresh water board is doing with red to power and taking neg and touching to each wire
Black...1/2 and empty
Blue...1/2, 1/4 and empty
Orange...full, 1/2 and empty
Green...3/4, 1/2 and empty
Yellow...1/2 and empty
Does that sound right?
It always says full with all lights lite up
Black...1/2 and empty
Blue...1/2, 1/4 and empty
Orange...full, 1/2 and empty
Green...3/4, 1/2 and empty
Yellow...1/2 and empty

You need red to +12v and one of the blacks to ground, always! (You should have two blacks.)
And then, touch each color to ground, one at a time.

When I do it that way (red to positive and one black to negative) as soon as I connect power 1/2 and empty are lite up and never go out. Then when I connect each wire to ground I get:
Other Black no change (1/2 and empty)
Blue 1/2 1/4 empty
Orange full 1/2 empty
Green 3/4 1/2 empty
Yellow no change
Other Black no change (1/2 and empty)
Blue 1/2 1/4 empty
Orange full 1/2 empty
Green 3/4 1/2 empty
Yellow no change

Looks like the 1/2 tank transistor is shorted.
