30537, indiglo problems
Posted by 2good2drop, Sep-06-02 08:29 PM
This is really pissing me off... i hooked up my indiglos the other day and they simply will NOT light up. i am POSITIVE i have the right wire, with a volt-ohm meter, it detects 12 volts flowing TO THE INDIGLOS when i throw on the parking lights .. i tried with the dimmer, but it didnt allow the electricity through ... i think it was bad... so i cut and connected the indiglos directly, and there is current going through but no light up whatsoever... any advice??

you might have a bad transformer.The first set I bought did.I have an extra 6 color box i will sell you if your gauges use an Epicenter transformer (it will say on the box).
Also hook them up at night and see if you even get a faint glow because if you son't get anything then your box is shot or you have them hooked up wrong.

mine went out on me once... i had to buy a new epicenter for them to work. The one that went bad had a dial to turn for the dimmer and a switch to go from blue to green. It went out on me when i switched from green to blue. I was pissed. I had to buy the new epicenter, but the new one uses push button pads that work a lot better. Just get a new harness epicenter.

if I let my car sit a day or so sometimes, mine will come on, then cut right off it appears. BUT, I just reach down to the transformer color/brightness controls and turn them on. They auto shut off I guess. I thought something was wrong with them for a while. I have the AC autotechnic reverse indiglos. They seem to be really nice as far as working nice and being durable.
