If the wire that powers the EMS panel was off, there would be no display. I suspect a voltage surge has damaged the EMS main unit. Try swapping main unit from the port engine. If the unit is damaged, ..... |

In a word no.
The EMS display either works or not. The data transmitted to this display is CDL so by swapping port to stbd you have proved the engine ECU and wiring is good.It looks like you need a ..... |

Bill,
