ProSport Boost Gauge Help!!

[groff]

Not sure what I've done wrong.

Hooked up all the tubing from WG to filter, filter to sensor.

Wired up both (Gauge and sensor) red connections to Trip computers Blue/Red wire
Wired both blacks to the Black/Yellow ground of the cubby light
Wired Green gauge to white sensor
Wired White Gauge to Yellow/Red trip computer for white/white day/night


Problem is...when I start up, it sweeps for about 30 seconds at least, while the white is illuminated, it does NOT read boost/vacuum and stays at peak 30 psi. Then if the car is shut down, the gauge illuminates red (letters and needle lights turn off) and the needle slowly sinks back to highest vacuum.

Basically, doesn't work, have I hooked something up wrong or could this be a fluke bad unit? :confused: Please help, thanks in advance-

ok, one problem fixed...bad boost sensor connection, so now it sweeps and reads boost correctly, and rests at 0

however...gauge is illuminated red still, even when the white gauge wire is disconnected? how is it possible that that light is getting power still?

anyone? bump?

Is this an electric or mechanical gauge?

electric

The orange wire on the back of the gauge itself is for the red illumination. Where is that connected?

orange wire isnt connected to anything, neither the white nor the orange are now and it still lights up red. just the white was connected before, and it still lit up red after the car was shut down

JP- not one of the new awesome ones either, sorry-
