Gauges not working

Post by Shark »

Was working on my car today installing a cb and wiring up the air con compressor and when i went for a drive my oil pressure/fuel and temp guage isnt working. EVERYTHING else is working in the car. Have checked fuses etc.

Anyone have an idea??

disconnect wiring to compressor and CB radio and resort to existing wiring to determine if that was the problem.

If so,, then you may have to run a new connection direct from the battery with a fuse to provide independant power for compressor and CB??

Just an idea :?:

Hmmm the compressor has all new wiring and the cb has power from the same wire that is running the stereo. Gonna have a good look today but really have no idea where to start.
