Gauge help please.....no lights
Hi all, got my gauges in only they dont illuminate. they do light up when performing opening ceromony then they go out and just the red led's flash but the dials and needle are not visable. whats going on, any ideas. I used the 4 wires from the clock to the 4 wires that connect the link controll to the dc harness. ive checked and it seems to be wired up right the only thing is the orange wire on the clock is marked acc so i wired this one to the iggnition wire on the harness for the link controll this right. HELP.

anyone...please

Replied in other thread.
You HAVE to get the wiring to the control unit spot on, or it will miss out functions, misread etc. To be sure, buy yourself (or beg, borrow or steal), either a multimeter, or a circuit tester. Mine is a brass body, pen-sized, with a sharp point on one end, used for piercing insulation, and a crocodile clip on a lead on the other. The croc clip goes to earth, the point touches whichever wire, and the bulb in the brass body lights up if it's live. You can check for permanent, switched etc. Cost about £3 from a car shop.

well done alcazar, job done. but when i start the car boost drops to -4 why is this. is it because i havnt put the jubilee clips around the hoses where ive tee'd in to the pipe on the dump valve and its loosing pressure as it isnt tight yet, i brought the wrong ones and there to small so i will finish it tomorrow when i get the right size.

Are you gonna eat 'em? Alcazar |
no not a stately home, i live in Devon and the house is smck bang in the middle of a 30acre block of woodland ond my lawn is like a field, it takes 3hours to cut on a bloody ride on mower perhaps i ought to do an engine transplant with the scoob it would only take a minute then lol. no there not for eating just to enjoy. the guinea fowl and the chickens i have though always look tasty lol. Anyway got the day off so out to the shed now for the final part, going to do the oil filter sandwich plate and oil change while im at it and then it should be done. By the way if it goes wrong AGAIN there will be a cheap subaru for sale!!!!!!!
