2015 RT analog gauges intermittently not working

[ES44AC]

I have a 2015 RTS.

The analog gauges (gas & temp)have started not working intermittently. When the analog gauges aren't working the ones built into the digital display are on.

I took the dashboard out and checked to make sure they had not come unplugged, everything seems tight.

What could be causing this ?


I'll have to check back periodically, because I'm not getting notifications.

Load test your battery.

I'll have to check back periodically, because I'm not getting notifications.

That'll be because you've set the 'receive email notifications' button to 'NO' in that block of your profile - you can change that simply by clicking on the 'edit profile' link when you open up your inbox.

Since you were able to post the original post above that started this thread, you WILL also be getting the number of unread msgs showing in the 'Notification' block right up the top right of every screen once they paint up; it'll show a Red number alongside the word 'Notifications' which appears above the Lamonster Garage Emblem & just to the right of where you can see the 'Welcome ES44AC' msg & to the left of 'My Profile', 'Settings', & 'Log Out' :thumbup:

As for your gauge problem, the digital gauges only show if BOTH analoge gauges aren't detected as being connected at any given time, so if it's not the battery as per JayBros' suggestion (which is a distinct possibility ) then you've probably either got an intermittent fuse or wiring/connection issue, or BOTH gauges are somehow coincidentally & intermittently failing/disconnecting at exactly the same time.... I'd guess at it most likely being the former & not very likely being the latter, but it'd only be a guess.

I had the same problem. I have a 2015 RTSE6.
The dealer had to change my entire dash.

I got it fixed in March. It was the entire gauge package. This did fix the issue for sure.

I got to looking at the 2021 RTL and I traded the 2015 RTS in.

I ended up just removing both gauges and getting blanks that fit into the gauge cutouts. Even when Spyder analog gauges work they're not accurate and finicky. I find the digital gauge to be more convenient.

The ones I went with:

Plan is to attach a RAM mount for iPhone on one of them and a dual USB port on the other.
