Re: All gauges going all they way up, why?

Post by basketcase0302 »

The gauges are wired correctly now...now all his gauges go all the way up when you turn the key on
This would be a sign to me that there is a ground in the wiring somewhere, (this is what I've always done to test a gauge to verify if it works or not) by grounding it out-it will travel to it's upper limit.
I'd go back to the wiring and inspect very closely.

Maybe TF and a few other guys can pipe in here also with some suggestions. :fr:

maybe the power is coming in on the wrong side of each gauge.

IPVR, (instrument panel voltage regulator), when these go bad, all gauges will peg out. :thup:

:yt: I would check the voltage going to the sending units, it should be a pulsing voltage and read around 5-6 volts.
