I hooked up my boost gauge's dimmer switch wire to the pink/grey wire that everyone talks about on the autometer installation thread from the tach harness that comes from the tach itself and everything works fine. However, when I switch on my lights, the gauge goes from white to amber like its supposed to, but will quickly flash white every half second or so.

The gauge works fine in every way, I'm getting ten psi on a stock mcs and I have already tested the connections(soldered everything). Any hints on to whats causing it?

BTW I have the prosport gauge.
Thanks,
Mike

 

nuthin huh?

 

Sorry not familiar with the prosports, How did you tap the wire? Sure the connection is tight?

 

with the prosport, how "solid" the connections are is very important. is this an electrical guage or mechanical?

from experience, check the connections to make sure there is really good continuity and good grounding and you should be fine after that.

 

ok, I'll check out the connections again. I soldered all connections cuz I just don't trust anything else lol. But thanks for the response

 

Did you ever figure out a fix for this? I'm having the same pulsing problem with a V1 remote display gauge I just installed.

 

electrical or mechanical gauge and is ur ground sturdy?

 

It's an electrical gauge. No separate wire for ground as it uses an RJ11 connector (phone jack line) for power (as does the V1). The ground on the hardwire for the V1 is sturdy.

 

I followed these instruction exactly and mine works perfectly;

I hope this helps. I noticed you followed instructions for an Autometer gauge for your Prosport installation. I don't know what the difference would be.
