48117, Damn gauges gone again...
Posted by jeffgsu, May-21-03 02:31 PM
That's twice my freakin indiglo gauges have gone out on me. The first time I replaced the inverter and damn if it didn't go out again. Anybody else have this problem? And do you know of a place to get just the inverter for cheap?

Thats why I will always stick with the stock gauges unless I invest in the Sard Stack System 8100 or 8130....and those do it ALL!!!!!!

I swapped out my white-faced indiglo gauges for the silver-faced reverse indiglo gauges a few months ago. The idiots that installed the white-faced ones superglued them down, so they came off in pieces. So now I have an extra inverter box thingy. At least, I think I still have it in my garage somewhere, I'll check today when I get home and let ya know.

UPDATE:

Gauges came back on today. I didn't touch a thing yet. Must be a short. However on the way home I was in a rain storm and they went off again. Also my windshield is leaking and I think water may be running down the window pillar into the dash. This may be the reason for the shorting out.

Great, thats all I need is another problem to fix.

I know it has all kinds of things built into it already...oil pressure and fuel pressure and other things that would get rid of gauges cluttering up your interior....thats why I want the damn thing...i dont need it....i WANT IT
