TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
This is a list of some problems and their solutions which may be encountered when installing your
instrumentation system. If you cannot determine what the problem is or how to solve it, please call our
technical assistance line (605) 332-6513 or email to [email protected].
* A note on vehicle grounding. *
The most common cause of problems with electric gauges is poor ground connections. The
engine block has the highest ground currents of any point in the vehicle. The ignition system, electric
gauge senders, starter, alternator, etc. all use the engine block for a ground point. Since the alternator is
grounded directly to the engine block all ground currents in the entire vehicle must pass through the
engine block while the engine is running. A weak or loose connection can cause all kinds of random
problems that may difficult to track down. The engine block should have heavy ground straps to both the
chassis and the body. The main negative cable from the battery should be connected directly to the
engine block.
