So I installed a gauge lifter as well as rsi throttle block, pro armor tether and deleting the starter and now the gauge isn't working. Everything is plugged in from what I can tell, lights work, sled runs just fine. Any ideas? Getting dark so will troubleshoot more in the morning when I can see

Sometimes that harness for the gauge SEEMS like it's in, but there is often just one more bit of effort to get that retainer to click into place.

I had the same issue, but got it on the third try.

Just a shot in the dark, but did you plug the hood connector back in?

I had the same problem...... Got all excited after getting the lifter installed. Plugged the gauge in and put the panels back on. Totally spaced out the hood connection.

Yea I saw that was unplugged and soon as I plugged it in just the lights worked, still no gauge.

Pull the connectors apart and check your pins to make sure that none of them were bent/deformed. I believe this happened to me last year when I installed my lifter. Good luck!

So stupid question but obviously the large plug under the hood needs to be plugged in but what about the other plug? The sled had electric start on it before but I removed it and I thought that plug just went to the relays for the electric start. Still haven't figured out why the gauge isn't working

So as an update I took it to a local polaris shop to have the clutch gone through and setup and ready for this winter as well as check why the gauge wasn't working and apparently the RSI throttle block was the cause, any ideas why this would be? Waiting on a reply from rsi
