@ecrow0497

We need a little bit more info. Is the bike new to you? Did the displays previously work and suddenly stop?

I recommend heading over to the new member welcome area and posting an introduction.

Anyways welcome to the community.

Forgive me, I am not familiar with the Breakout gauge set up, are we talking about an OEM gauge...?

If all the digital parts of the guage are not working, how did you check for codes..?

Have you done any recent service, repair, or mods that are in the area of the gauge or it's wiring..?

If you have verified that all fuses & relays are good, and the pins to the connectors are all clean, straight, and making proper contact... I would think the issues then has to be with the signals to the gauge from the BCM, the wiring that carries those signals, or the gauge itself.

When you say "not working" do you mean the display is lit, and you can scroll through the categories but they show "0", or the display is not lit at all...?



If you can get access (or purchase) the 2014 Factory Softail Electrical Diagnosis Manual #99498-14, It should tell you how to check the gauge and the signals from the BCM.

NOTE: I just noticed you said both sections of the gauge stopped working and now the digital section is "still not working"....

What did you do that caused the analog section of the gauge to start working again?
