Very Cool!!!

I guess I should have kept the old one and repaired as a spare...

Would have been great to be able to get the source for the resistors from Jim and try fixing the spare.
I would have tried it on mine, but it was the only one I had and I didn’t want to screw it up.

4 transistors on the led circuit board. Easy fix. Just fixed someone else's from the Forum. I can send you the transistors or send the board.

Hi, I was reading through this thread and I have the same problem. Gauge reads full all the time. Are you still fixing these? If not could you tell me what transistor I need and I could probably fix it myself. Any advice/ help is very appreciated!

Send it to me. I’m happy to repair and test.

Hi Jim- have a 1997 Sea Ray 400 DA where that fresh water tank LED display lights up the 3/4 light no matter the level of the tank. Empty is empty and 3/4, half is half and 3/4, etc. something that can be fixed? From your posts you seem to be the expert on these things! Thanks!! John

Take a pic so I I can see what your working with, but probably yes.

Thanks! It looks just like JVM225 above but instead of all the lights lit up, my 3/4 lights up when I push the button along with whatever the real level is at (empty, 1/4, 1/2 or full).

happy to pay for your time to fix and test it!! Thank you!!

That was a weird one. Shorted transistor!
All good now. Tested and on its way back tomorrow am!
Thanks!

Jim - I've said this before - you are DA MAN!!! Thanks for what you are doing for us!!!

Sure was sweet having a reliable working fresh water gauge last season.
All thanks to Jim.

Jim, it works perfectly! Thank you so much!!

Jim, I want to thank you. Last fall you mailed me 4 transistors and I soldered then in. Didn’t have time to play with emptying the tank and refilling it at the time.

it showed empty from when inwinterized and I hoped that was a good sign. As I filled the tank up this past weekend, I watched the guage, 1/4 then 1/2, then 3/4....


So thank you!!!!!

Your welcome!

Jim
is this the same fix on the waste tank gauge also?
