Re: yamaha digital guage problem

I have the 6Y8 digital command link gauges. If wired correctly the back lighting works by pressing the set and mode buttons together and letting go. Then set the back lighting level from one to five using the mode button. With Sync displayed all gauges will respond together. Here's the words from the manual:

Changing backlight settings
You can turn the backlight on or off, or
change the brightness level of the backlight
for all meters synchronized. You can also
change the settings for each meter individually.
1. set + mode: To activate the backlight
mode.
2. mode: Press to switch between the five
brightness levels (1?5).
set: To switch between ?LIGHT ON?
and ?LIGHT OFF.?
3. set + mode: To return to the normal
display.
NOTE:
? The backlight default settings are ?LIGHT
OFF,? brightness level 1, and ?SYNC.?
? If no operations are carried out for 5 seconds
or more, the display returns to the
normal display.
? The backlight settings can be changed
from all meters and all displays.
? When ?SYNC? is displayed, all meters
operate simultaneously and can be
changed synchronized. Press the mode
button for 1 second to set ?SYNC?
so that it is not displayed and to change
the meters individually.

Hope this helps.

I am having the exact same problem with my new multifunction gauge. What did you do to correct this problem? I've been trying to figure it out for days. Thanks

You started a thread of your own, which is the right thing to do. Posting in this 6 year old inactive thread where none of the members are still visiting, was the wrong thing to do. Take a look at the Help Tip on top of the page.
