I just picked up a 98 srx70 with under 2000 miles. It's a good runner so I'm pretty happy with it, but it has lots of little problems I need to address. The worst is wiring; the harness going up to the dash must have hit the pipes because they were all melted together causing the lights to come on and off plus some other weird stuff. Anyway, I re-spliced them (eight wires, I believe) and my lights, dash lights and grips are good to go. The problems left to sort out: the oil light is always on, the tach is not working at all and neither is the gas gauge, so I'm looking for pointers on how those 3 systems work so I can trouble shoot them. I'm a double E so you won't be talking over my head, I just don't know how each work so I can determine if I have component issues (sending units and the like) or simple wiring issues to track down. Any input is appreciated!!!
 

No idea on trouble shooting your harness but maybe find another one? I have a spare that if you wanted to bring the sled over this away and plug it in as to test the systems not working. Dont really want to get rid of it as I have a 98 600 that may need it some day.
 
Thanks guys. I also have a '98 SRX600, so I'll start there for comparisons and ask more specific questions as they arise.

Any component specific info still appreciated.
