I got this bike really cheap in hopes I could bring it back to life. Its a Nautilus GX 2.7 Exercise bike. Cosmetically it looks like its never been used. However, the panel is dead and won't even light up when power is applied. I'm new to electronics troubleshooting but I really want to learn the basics. I feel like its a skill that I really want to invest time to learn.
I've taken the panel apart to visually check it over, but to my untrained eye I see no red flags.
I've included some pics below to help illustrate what I'm working with.
The first thing I'm trying to do is determine if the panel is even getting power or not and I need some help to determine how to test that. I do have a multimeter and I know how to test for continuity on a fuse, but a wiring harness presents some different challenges I need to figure out.
Pics follow:
The bike:
The power requirements are 9 volts 2 amps:
The power adapter (bought from Amazon. The bike came without a power adapter):
The power connection that the adapter plugs into at the front bottom of the bike:
The power input harness at the front bottom of the bike:
The end of the harness that attaches to the panel console at the top of the bike:
The panel interface that the connector in the pic above plugs into:
The panel connection (the top connector is disconnected in this pic. It goes to the pulse sensor on the handlebar):
The panel console:
The open panel console:
A closer look at the console panel:
