    I have a 2006 VNL and it sat for a year and a half after I had 3 operations and i couldn’t climb up in it to start it. I went out today and charge the batteries and started it but it has no throttle in the gauges are completely in operative. The center digital gauge doesn’t even light up and none of the sweep gauges work with the exception of the fuel gauge. I looked at fuse number 24, I think it was, a five amp fuse and it was good. Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    It was supposed to say “ has no throttle AND the gauges are inop”

    Thx a lot. I will try this tomorrow. Is there a wiring diagram online or a pic that shows manifold main cab power?

    you cant miss it if you look right behind clutch pedal on firewall you have the main plug and all the air connections right under this there will be two 13 mil bolts holding on 4 gauge cable take two cables from there and run directly to battery power both of them have to positives though no ground connection. try with jumper cables first should work usually.

    I found the terminals exactly where you described them. I jumped both terminals to positive and still no gauges.
