Maxim guages on a seca, not working correctly HELP

I have just finished my Seca and i found out that the original Seca guages were causing the bike to have a weak spark on 2 cylinders. i spent a bunch of time changing things out and finally took the gauges apart to look at them. In the mean time I put a set of Maxim gauges I had laying around and low and behold, spark problem went away. Who would have thought it was the gauges causing m,e the issue. But not I have a different issue. The information center sometimes cycles through and sometime not. When it does it goes through and I get the expected batt warning since I have a AGM battery in the bike and the oil warning. I have watched the oil window when starting the bike and I know it's pumping oil since the level drops and the sensor is a quantity indication anyway. So that might be a bad sensor. What I can't understand is when I press either brake the warning system goes through it's cycle again.

Can anyone give me any advise where to start troubleshooting this issue? Bad ground somewhere? Is there a way to just inop the idiot warning system and run the bike with just the tach and spedo, turn signals etc.? Is there any differences between the two Seca and Maxim gauges and how they operate? They both share the same connectors, every one.

 

Running resistor caps or plugs? If you run no resistance, it can trigger your check randomly, I've had it happen myself.

If not that, i'm thinking either the gauges are borked, or there's something wired wrong, probably the latter (Harness to gauge differences?)

 

I am running the stock plugs and plug caps on the bike. I actually picked up a second set of Maxim guages and put them on the bike and they behave the same way. I went through the wire harness in the headlight and cleaned all the connections. The problem is still persisting. All the connectors are the same between the Seca and Maxim guages. I also checked and there are no loose wires in the connectors. I can't find any grounds that look corroded. When I put the bike back together I cleaned every ground wire I found.

 

The connectors are the same, but are the actual wire positions the same. I have no idea as I've never looked at differences between the two. Someone else may have to confirm/deny.

 

You know, scratching my head, I will check that and see. You may very well be on to something.

 

Ok I took headlight off and went through all the wires in every connector. I could not find any that did not have a match. Green to green, white to white etc. so any other suggestions? Now I am ready to just disconnect everything but the fuel gauge but I would prefer to get it working

 

The seca has an electronic tach pickup. It could be this that's causing your weak spark on 2&3.

 

I got the weak spark issue solved by changing out the gauge cluster to the maxim one.
