yamaha digital guage problem

[boatmanjf]

Just got done installing all the wiring on the boat. twin yamaha
F150's twin digital guages. Problem--Lights on the guages don't work---SET and MODE button seem to do nothing.----trim indicator on both guages shows all the way with the top LED blinking.----not other LED's are lite.....are the temp LED's and oil ones supposed to be lit? wired harness as per rigging guide and the tach works but nothing else seems to work right. and directions to get the lights to work with set and mode buttons don't work..........any idea,s Guages are new.

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.
