Batt voltage not showing on Mate3s home screen. Other data on FNDC screen is showing fine however, no batt voltage data 0.0 is what it reads. I unplugged FNDC hub cable...switched hub port for FNDC and unplugged FNDC wiring block...still nothing. Any ideas ?
After some additional research it looks as though there's a fuse on the positive (black cable) from the wiring block to the positive bus connection in the "load center." I looked and tried to follow the blk & wte cable however this is an integrated system and most of the wiring is not visible also not sure if Outback put a fuse on the cable with this integrated FP1 system.

The FP1 has a 0.5A circuit breaker dedicated to the FNDC battery + lead. It should be marked "Battery Monitor" or similar. Check that its in the ON position.ClaudeJr wrote: ↑Thu May 12, 2022 3:17 pm Batt voltage not showing on Mate3s home screen.

You nailed it raysun...there's a switch on the side of the FP1 marked "Battery Status Monitor" and it was off...turned it on and all is well.
I have a Simpliphi battery question that I guess must be put under new topic...be on the lookout...thanks again.
