any one good with wiring?

[dustin02gts]

i have an ac autotechnics indiglo gauge overlay and the light behind it flashes on and off like a strobe light and sometimes stays off. very annoying:puke:anyone have any suggestions?

shorting out maybe?

Loose connection somewhere I would think.

Not sure if that is the brand..... but, I recall alot of controller problems/failures w/one brand of indiglos.

i always have a spare inverter or (controller) just in case. they can be found very cheap here http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=020&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&viewitem=&item=300213605502&rd=1

Check your ground wire connection....if your ground wire is going to metal make sure to remove the paint so your connector is touching 'bare' metal. If not get a new invertor.

I thinks maybe a loose connection.

allright thanks. i was leaning towards a short. more than likely it will have to do with the actual bulb itself right? i dont know if anyone else has aftermarket gauges like that. i didnt install it so i guess ill just have to take it out and look. the dealership that i got the car from tried to charge me $270!!!

I used to do harness and soldering militay spec on the training stinger missle luancher's for a company called DBA Systems in florida, but that's been almost 20 years ago...:shrugs:

I think i still know how to test wire polarity?...Anyways good luck.
