Default ultra gauges not working

I have a 2003 ultra classic. All the gauges and there lights stopped working. The speedo and it's light do work. I checked the fuses and the connectors within the fairing and they seem to be o.k.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance
Danny

Do you have a maunal? I would think that all the guages have a common power source and a common ground for them. I would get the manual and start testing wires. Even though the connectors look good, some wire might have been pulled out of its socket. I wish I could give you better advice. I am sure that someone here has ran into the same problem. Good luck, sorry I cant help you more.

Had same problem on my 00 EG, check the fuse under the left sidecover, mine had a blown fuse did the exact same thing. Don't know if 03 is the same but it worked for me. Good luck

I have a 2003 Ultra Classic and my gauges stopped working and i don't have any running lights either. My speedometer and radio still work. I am still trying fix it and have checked the fuses related to instrument lights and gauges, checked connections under the fairing and can't find the problem. Did anyone find any thing else to check? Thanks i n advance.

Check all the fuses, a friend of mine had the same problem and it wasn't the instrument fuse as marked, I believe the one that was blown was the aux fuse or had another marking on it that supplied power.

I had one at work that used to do that all the time. I don't remember exactly witch one it is, but it is one of the fuses under the low side panel.

I have an 04' ultra running light and gauges not working I've replaced the speed sensor that didn't fix it. The turn signals and brake lights do work. I can't find my problem either.

KNow this is a old post but did you ever figure out this problem? Just inherited my father's 03 ultra classic and it's having the same problem. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, that guy hasn’t been here in 14 years. Did you check the fuses?
