Why is the gauge never return to normal position after disconnecting it with the lower port?

I had the same issue... My gauge went back to zero after letting it sit in the garage overnight

Are you sure it's not your cable? I just had to replace my cable. It was low end and in switched to a mid level cable. If you do need to clean the port, be very careful and use a 90% methanol solution.

Sometimes the connector is not pushed in all the way...it actually has to be clicked in. Also, the button needs to be held down a bit

The unit is still in for repair. The tank pressure gauge didn't work when I first pulled it out of the box. I would be very interested to see if I get an after market replacement gauge when I get it back.

When it worked yes I checked it against a conventional gauge and another digital gauge. The problem was it stopped working after each and I had to replace the batteries then it would work once the replace the batteries. I returned it after one use. Not reliable at all.

I highly suggest you check the output voltage. This has no built-in display, and you should not assume it is the voltage you want when you take it out of the anti-static bag. As you adjust the output voltage, the meter reading will increase when turning the pot in the direction that increases the voltage. Make a note of the direction when you first adjust it. It doesn't jump back to max. It goes to max or min and stays there if you keep cranking on the screw.

Make sure you dont have the cable connected the wrong way. It can be connected backwards. Switch the cable ends.

Mine was a little loose, but it just needs to be tapped to snug up the connector tabs. Hope this makes sense and helps.

No that should not be happening. If it is there is a problem.It should spring back to its zero position.

Not sure, mine never does that. If you just bought it I would swap for a new one. Or make sure your connection to the outlet is not loose maybe? Hope you figure it out!

Same here. I think it is the auto-ranging function. Turn off the auto-ranging and it should settle down. I have zero variability when set to volts range. Given the price of the meter I decided not to worry about this glitch.

tough question sight un seen but sounds like your attaching the load wire to same termination bracket. also the outlet may be defective. If it is doing it on more than just one then it is the attachment location that is wrong.

I wish I could answer this question. Since there are many combinations of ports and settings on my equipment, I found myself plugging in and unplugging the wire several times. and before I was able to find the right combination I broke off one of the golden tines on the plug. Probably operator error rather than faulty plug, but sad, never the less.

Are you possibly connecting it backwards? I don't have it handy but I know the black ground wire is at the end of the row of pins. I believe the black wire should be on the right when the pins are at the bottom and the display is facing you.

Mine changed easily with the screw. I would tend to think you may have gotten a defective one...which is a shame because this really is a fantastic gauge. I've had no problems since installing mine. :-(

Same problem - it literally jumps out of the socket. The sockets on our cars are just a little bit shallower than the back end of the flanges. The back of the flanges is wider than the front, and it works its way back out like a spring loaded wedge.Maybe I will try the pliers trick to mash down the back edges of the grounding flanges.UPDATE: used Dremel cutting tool to rough up and "back angle" the back edges of the spring loaded flanges. It stays in the lighter socket now.

wow I did not have that happen to me that I know of never looked at gauges just took out old harness and put in new one. It doesn't make sense unless you have air bags in your side panels . if that's the case then the light should go out once you re hitch harness . Good luck
