• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

06 sm610 Gage cluster stopped working

Squish87

Husqvarna
A Class
the other day i started up my bike and none of the number on the gage or the lights around the gage lit up, the back light come on but i have a blank screen and no indicatior lights for blinkers, headlight, highbeam, and gas. I was thinking maybe a fuse but i figured the whole gage would have gone out if it was a fuse. If anyone has any imput a little help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
 
I have no idea how it's wired on your bike but is there any chance it could be a loose plug at the back of the cluster? Assuming there is a plug it would be worth disconnecting it, cleaning the contacts on both parts, and refitting it to see if that makes any difference.

Given how many different things aren't working you're probably looking at a common cause such as failed power or earth to the cluster, which could be a fuse if there is one which just feeds the cluster (assuming everything else is ok). Let's hope it's something like that rather than the cluster itself having failed.
 
I would do the classic re-boot, dis-connect battery for a few minutes, maybe 20, then re-connect and see what you have. That's after checking wires etc. Probably has a little lithium button battery to hold memory too. That may be an issue too.
