Default Gauge advice

As some of you may know I have had some prosport gauges fitted, but, they still aren't right. At the moment, I have two amber one and one white, and on the opening sequence, they are out of cinque. Can anyone recommend anybody locally that can look at them for me?.

Steve

I take it you have checked all the wires are in the back of the gauges steve are all clicked in ok(i just brought another set and started to install today),to make sure they are all in nice and tight,have you tried changing over the daisy link wires between each one and still see if you have same problems with the same gauge,incase one of the wires is hanging out the back not exactly the thickest of wires are they.

Hi Dave. Thanks for that mate. I have checked them to the best of my ability which is limited!. I've checked to see if they are tight but I dont really know what to look for TBH when it comes to daisy chain etc. Good to see you're back in a scoob mate!.

The easyest way i have found is to wire down to the radio where you have a switch power/lighting an earth.

The gadge not lighting up could be down to the one of the link conector terminal pushed out of the back plastic conector (if that make sense) make sure the wires them self are pushed right the way in the plastic part.
