Hello,
I have been searching to find an answer to my problem that I hope someone can help with. I just purchased a 2011 F250XCA to re-power my boat. I purchased the big rectangular command link plus gauge (6Y9 version 2 or 3) new in a kit. I purchased the DEC binnacle and had the ECU reset buy the dealer to accept the New serial #'ed Binnacle. I hooked up everything according to the diagrams and I am pretty mechanical so it was not difficult to follow. Everything runs fine the motor shifts and drives fine with the binnacle, however the gauge does not read any data from the motor. It does read the data from my Lowrance GPS/chart plotter. I went through the initial setup on the gauge when it first booted.
I read that read that there might be a resistor cap missing on the hub. However,I have the grey resistor cap on the far end opposite the power plug from the key switch. I do have 2 device spot open without a plug or a cap I have purchased some but they are not in yet. Could these be cause the problem? I understand they are just covers and have no effect on the operation. The only other thing I was on the binnacle's numerous plugs was one single wire with a black plug and a white plug. the label said to plug white to black for certain models. the F250B (dec) was listed. I do not know if my motor is considered a F250B or not. I am guessing not. Curious if this could also be the issue.
Everything was purchased new because I did not want to take a chance something used not being compatible. Has anyone seen this issue? Last thing I saw was people with this issue after is was running for a while the ECU had to be replaced. The motor is still under warranty, but I do not know if the ECU is covered. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
-Barry
