I have a STi Genome controller and boost gauge, I also have a single din sized set of Defi gauges installed above my single din head unit, one of my gauges work (left one is temperature related) but the other two do not work.

The other two gauges spin around on ignition start up as they should but then turn around to "full" and "tick" like they are connected to a clock on the second hand!!

Does anyone know of anyone up north (Lancashire way) who can sort these out? the middle gauge is another temperature gauge and the gauge on the right is a pressure gauge.

Cheers,
Lee.

my defi gauges went funny once, it turned out to be one of the senders wire had got caught and was earthing out, fixed it all up and it was working 100%

Gauges look the business, but so annoying that two dont work

Can you trace the wiring from the unit to the senders? That would be my first guess.

I will ask a friend help to find the "senders" thanks

Give us an idea of what gauges, we can tell you where each sender is most likely to be.

Hope this helps...> STS26B is the "MODEL" written on all three dials, as stated the first two are "temp" the last is "Press" and has x1000kpa written on it.

Whilst I am here my STi genome boost gauge reads 0.3 too much boost, can it be calibrated easily enough?

Temp will probably be water and oil. Press may be oil pressure.

Oil temp is usually taken from a sender placed in a tapping above No3 cylinder, the rear one, driver's side. It can also be taken froma sandwich plate on the filter fixing.
Water temp is likely to be on, or near the top hose.
Oil pressure is usually simply screwed into the oil pressure SWITCH threading, it is on top of the block behind the alternator. There is sometimes an adaptor so that the o/p switch can still be used, though why, I don't know

As for calibrating, sorry I can't be of help.
