Replacement for Yanmar i5601E Engine Display

[zachsail89]

Oh, I'm interested...
My Yanmar display has the usual unreadability issues but also refuses to display fuel level.
Nothing wrong with the existing sender/wiring, have a temporary gauge rigged up...
Will definitely install the Garmin when it percolates to the top of the to-do list.

Any idea why your having intermittent fuel level issues? I'm currently getting no fuel level or oil pressure on my i5601 gauge or my garmin display and I can't figure out what the issue seems to be...

My issue wasn't intermittent - same as yours, had had sudden unexplained-onset permanent failure, blank (dashes) displays. Sequentially, not simultaneously.
2 local shops, experienced/expensive outfit instantly condemned the oil sender, replacement of which solved the first problem.
Local rough-and-ready outfit had a uniquely skinny/determined kid at one's disposal - he played around with the fuel sender and pronounced it good, confirmed continuity from sender to gauge yet could not figure out why the display had flatlined; he set up an alternative gauge beside it which functions perfectly. So either the i5601e has lost a brain cell or the signal simply isn't making it home - the kid insists it's the former. I still wonder whether I inadvertently pushed some key sequence that lobotomized the Yanmar gauge - but couldn't recover it via obvious programming (fuel 1 fuel 2 fuel 3 nope). The only other thing I can think of is: did I install one too many NMEA devices, causing some sort of interference? Recall one fellow on the board installed a Garmin alternative but left the Yanmar gauge connected for error code access - sounds like a great plan if I had the space.

I think I'm at the same point as the determined kid.... I've ruled that the sensors aren't the issue but I'm not sure why the signal isn't getting to the display... yanmar blackbox was sent to mastery and tested good and updated... my issue has to be with the harness not sending signal or power to the senors and completing the loop.. but the question would be which pinout is responsible for it... so complicated for no reason
