Control panel Beneteau

[Slider]

Our Beneteau 37 2012 has a control panel that includes fuel, water, volts plus. Can the lights for backlighting be replaced? We have to use a flash light to read the values. The panel opens so you can see the back of the board but it is scary to start pulling on things!

We had our panel replaced a few years ago after a nearby lightning strike. At the time (2018) the panel was $575, and our yard charged $200 to replace it. I don’t know if it’s possible to replace just the backlight. My guess is it’s all integral and can’t be separated, but I haven’t tried.

Often each of the individual gauges has a light inside it. Go look up gauge websites, like Teleflex and see how they are built.

Looks like more investigating is required! I don't like the $750 option but most likely correct. Maybe just another light behind the board in the cabinet or a lot of flashlights!

Agree, likely the lights are in the individual gauges.

The Beneteau panel isn’t specific gauges though, it’s an integrated multifunction LCD.

The back of the panel is an integrated circuit board. Not sure how it’s connected to the display and if there’s any way to get them as separate components.
