Good day guys,
A couple of days i introducme myself into the forum and I tried to explain a problem i had with my CB1100 13' speedometer.
I have created this Thread in order to help as much as I can if anyone else encounters the same problem.
So the problem I had with my speedometer was a blank screen on the Fuel, ODD and time stamp screen after reconnecting Both terminals to the motorcycle connections.
There was no terminals loose, nor shortcircuit as I used my tester and I was getting continuity and all. I have encounter shortcircuits with previous bikes but it was nothing like I have ever seen before
What I did to try and resolved this:
1) I clean the electric board with a general circuit cleaner and used a soft paint brush to clean all terminas and circuits
2) I let it dry for 15 minutes and then you can use your mom/partner hair dryer to remove moisture from all terminals ( or maybe you have your own hair dryer I dont judge)
3) Reconnect the terminals and wait for the signal.
My problem was: after cleaning and drying the electric board and installing into the motorcycle it was working when turning on the key swicht, after a couple of hours it didnt work again as I was getting the same blank screen with no info whatsoever and both the rev and speed gauges were not working, Im pretty sure my problem was not turning on my bike as i was just leaving it with Pilots on.
My battery ran out of juice doing all this as my headlight was on all the time, so I fully recommend to remove the headlight fuse below the seat to save some battery while doing this.
After I reinstall the gauges and connect everything again I turned on my bike let it warm up for 1 minute, I took her for a ride and after 5 minutes my speedometer worked again, and has worked since then with no issues at all.
It was such a weird issue but once again when it comes to electrical stuff Im not that tech savy.
Im writing this so if anyone come across this issue again and is trying EVERYTHING to have the board working again let me just tell you to have it connected to the bike again and ride a few minutes and it should be working again.
I have attached pictures for a better description of my problem.
I really hope this helps to any friend in need. Sorry for my gramar English is not my first language.
