Gauge/Gage lighting, wiring question

[mconstable]

Hello all, finally got ticked off enough to install the damn gauges myself, have a couple of questions...

I started with the wiring, routed everything, and installed the pillar-pod.

Ran the 3 grounds into one, ran the 3 positives into one, hooked them up to ground and headlight dimmer.

Hooked up the boost gauge, but didn't have time for the fuel-pressure or EGT.

Question is... my fuel-pressure and Boost light up, but not my EGT Gauge?!

Any ideas??

Also, where did everyone route your wires? I tucked mine along the left side of the door, but at the kick-panel, I can't get it to tuck?

Thanks all... Michael

Just got all three of mine hooked up put all the excess below the steering column with the boxes for the gauges. I am having problems with my Py sensor light it seems only part of it light up, maybe bulb failure Isspro is sending me a couple new bulbs. Wy don't you just apply 12v across the terminals of the gauge?? swap the bulbs.

Thanks p-Bar, never thought to just put juice to it directly, what would be the easiest way?

Mike,



Check the bulbs for continity. My DiPrical pyro had a bad LED.



Check to see if you are getting juice to the gauge, then check the continuity from the gauge to ground. I don't know what you used to splice your wires, but you could have a bad connection.

Check your wire connections on your EGT. THe BLACK wire is power and white is ground. You won't hurt the LED if it was connected wrong.



I know because I did this. Good luck.
