groff Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Not sure what I've done wrong. Hooked up all the tubing from WG to filter, filter to sensor. Wired up both (Gauge and sensor) red connections to Trip computers Blue/Red wire Wired both blacks to the Black/Yellow ground of the cubby light Wired Green gauge to white sensor Wired White Gauge to Yellow/Red trip computer for white/white day/night Problem is...when I start up, it sweeps for about 30 seconds at least, while the white is illuminated, it does NOT read boost/vacuum and stays at peak 30 psi. Then if the car is shut down, the gauge illuminates red (letters and needle lights turn off) and the needle slowly sinks back to highest vacuum. Basically, doesn't work, have I hooked something up wrong or could this be a fluke bad unit? Please help, thanks in advance- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groff Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 ok, one problem fixed...bad boost sensor connection, so now it sweeps and reads boost correctly, and rests at 0 however...gauge is illuminated red still, even when the white gauge wire is disconnected? how is it possible that that light is getting power still?

LGT Dave Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 The orange wire on the back of the gauge itself is for the red illumination. Where is that connected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
