tried installing the gauge and have the vacuum lines all hooked up. the problem is the illumination wiring.

i have my black wire grounded and tried splicing the white wire into the illumination (green/white) but the gauge isn't lighting up...any suggestions?

is that wire ignition? do i have to actually start the car or can i just put hte key in and half turn it?

thanks for the help in advancce!

If you're hooked up correctly, you don't need the key to get illumination. All I do is turn on my headlights and the gauges light up. Re-check your wiring and make sure your vampire taps are clamped the whole way down. Also make sure you didn't use one that was too big.

 

yup it was my wiring...bad grounding...thanks for the help!!!

 

....i was just gonna say it was the grounding...

on all electrical...that is usally the culprit....
