Prosport gauges not holding peak settings
As soon as I turn off the ignition, and then back on again they revert back to the original factory settings, any ideas anyone?? Do you need to change the power leads over, like when fitting some headunits??
Thanks

Sounds like you don't have a permanent live, Ian.
You need to check that wherever the permanent live is fixed to actually IS live when the ignition is OFF.
I took mine for my Defis directly from battery via a small fuse.

What's the problem? Identify the red lead, extend it and take it straight to battery +ve via a small inline fuse, 3A ought to be enough.
