Guages, GUages, guages
I am have the darnedest time dealing with my guages and getting the to work. (they do work as always) Everytime I hook them up and put the fuse back they go from their neutral position all the way to max and blow the 10 amp fuse. This is off a fresh rewire with a universal kit from Painless Performance. If there is anyone in the biloxi, ms area who can by and help me get those guages to work right please let me know.

Re: Guages, GUages, guages
Do you have a DVM of any kind? Which gauges are effected? Probably not the mechanically operated ones?SwampRat wrote: I am have the darnedest time dealing with my guages and getting the to work.

Sorry to hear your painless kit has become painful!

Re: Guages, GUages, guages
is there a resistor or regulator that I am missing I would like to have the guages working again.
Re: Guages, GUages, guages
This is one of the top electrical questions on the forum.
Regulator is in the fuel gauge, somwhere along the way you've likely bypassed it.
