G2000 relay / regulator help

[scopeman]

Hello all,
Does anyone know or where I can find out how to test for a bad relay box or V regulator for a G2000? I started out with a problem with the fuel and temp gauges not working but was told they did off and on. I have removed all the connectors and put no-ox in them, the two lights on the dash come on and I hear the relay in the box, but when I try to crank, I hear the solenoid click and the lights go out and dont come back on. just not sure about the relay/reg.

Thanks in advance.

That sounds like a bad ground, or loose connection in the wiring

That seems like a bad battery/ poor connection.
I have seen many batteries that have good voltage, but go open under any kind of load. Its a common failure.
Resistance tests for ground/ power circuits are next.

Thanks for the reply back guys! the ground wire at the frame end (connector) had Intermitting problems!! Replaced cable with some #2 i had and fix the start /lights problem. but temp and fuel gauges still no go.

That might be a blown fuse powering your gauges
