If the tail lights, low fuel light, temperature gauge, and fuel gauge are not working, there could be several possible causes:
Blown Fuses: Check the fuses for the tail lights, low fuel light, temperature gauge, and fuel gauge. If any of these fuses are blown, replace them with a new one.
Loose or damaged wiring: Inspect the wiring for the tail lights, low fuel light, temperature gauge, and fuel gauge. Look for any loose connections or damaged wires. Repair or replace any damaged wires and ensure all connections are tight.
Faulty sending units: The low fuel light and fuel gauge are connected to the fuel sending unit in the gas tank. The temperature gauge is connected to a temperature sending unit on the engine. Check these sending units for faults, and replace them if necessary.
Faulty instrument cluster: The instrument cluster itself could be faulty, causing the temperature and fuel gauges to not work. A qualified mechanic can test the instrument cluster to see if this is the issue.
It's also possible that the trike has a separate electrical system for the tail lights, and that this system is malfunctioning. A qualified mechanic can test the trike's electrical system to determine the cause of the issue.
Why was the battery missing to begin with? I would start by checking all fuses under dash and Central hub. Check for burned in-line fuses,if any, coming off of battery cables.
The light says check gauges? This doesn't mean fluids are low. Look at the gauges, something is out of spec. A common one is the alternator, if the voltage drops below usually 12v, the light comes on.
Well the warning light is supposed to come on if any of the gauges display a dangerous condition, such as no oil pressure. You may have a faulty sending unit for the gauge, or a wiring problem, or the engine may actually be loosing oil pressure when the gauge drops. You could replace the sending unit as a test, or have someone check the oil pressure with a mechanical gauge.
have a 2004 ford f150 with a 5.4L. While the truck would sit and idle my temp gauge would go to zero and the check gauge and check engine light would come on. Ran the codes and got P1289. Cleared the codes and truck would do fine for a few days and then it would happen again while sitting and idling. I replaced the CHT sensor and cranked the truck. The check gauge light can on and got the P1289 code. Replaced the CHT again(thinking the new one was bad) and cleared the codes. Cranked the truck again and it did the same thing. Cleared the codes and the check gauge light and check engine light would come back on with the motor running. When the motor is warmed up, I turned on the key on without cranking the motor, the temp gauge works, when the motor is cranked and running, the temp gauge goes to zero and the the ckeck gauge light on back on and gives the P1289 code. Does any one have any ideas on what to do
Check all your fuses I f you find one that is blown replace it .If it continues you will need to have that circuit tested to see where the short is coming from
