Anybody have success wiring the gauges? Back of the gauges has conflicting info. White casing is marked "S" &amp; "+" but the black internal marked diff.

I used a set of mechanical gauges from Pep boys. Didn't trust the provided gauges with a fresh build.

Yes. Mine did the same thing. I tested the batterie and found the two in the front weren't as strong as the ones in the back. I rotated them front to back and charged them and the gauge has worked every since. Hope this works for you.

There are youtube vids addressing the issue. there are two 12v + leads, one for the pump, one for the fuel gauge, a return to the gauge and a ground. find the 2 with positive voltage and which one is ground with a meter, the last one is the return to the fuel gauge. if you have 20 bucks for a Haynes manual it says which color wires correspond to the appropriate lead.

Did you ever get an answer or solution for this? I purchased 12 gauge speaker wire but have not installed it yet. I can return it if need be. Thanks!

Hello!You can download new gauges from the internet (Google "Saitek FIP Gauge,") and/or you can make your own one (you write the XML). There are instructions provided on FSX Times by Tom Tsui, located here: https://fsxtimes.wordpress.com/ . He's also got some free gauges, some paid gauges, instructions, setups, etc. It's a great resource. You are not limited to Saitek's gauges, there are lots of customization options.

Well, first off, there is no voltage gauge on this model. The gauge is for amperage. There could be a lot of reasons for the amp gauge appearing to not work - a disconnected cable inside (that happens), a faulty gauge (rare, but possible), no load on the charger (are the battery cables connected securely?), timer knob not set from the "OFF" position (very likely), Volt/Amp selector not set from the "OFF" position (also very likely). These types of gauges are not entirely useful anyway since they basically only indicate an approximate reading that suggests the darn thing is turned on. If it appears to be running and if you have a voltage and ammeter, you can test both to see if it's putting out proper power to match the settings. The only complaint I had about this charger is that the internal fan is crap.

I will have to send you pictures of my set-up later on this week. Briefly I have three Weber carbs and a fuel distributional block from Mr. Gasket and I placed it upstream of this, but if you have fuel injection the pressure is about two or three times what the gauge will register

check back of gauge with an ohm meter and check the volts. If there is 36 volts there , the gauge is bad.

I am having the same problem...brought it back 3x without success...also temp guage not working properly either

Bad connection??I haven't had this happen. Been using the gauges about 2 years now.If voltage is right around the cutoff of 4.5V I suppose it could blink on/off as the voltage hovers around that point. Gauge puts a tiny load on system so volts would drop, then without the load V would increase again over 4.5V so it would light up again, and the cycle would repeat.

No, gauge worked, but the presto valve busted five or six valve needle. I replaced the valve head.

No, it's broken, check to see if there are leaks. If no leaks, remove the gauge and have it checked or zero-ed out.

The Instructions are a little confusing, I had to just go by what each wire does: I used Conventional Diagram! I also Double checked connections On the internet utilizing how my old one was connected & tagged the wires with the corresponding letters shown on the wiring diagram? I don't know if I have confused you more O actually helped you? Good Luck! =O)

I've got the same gauge. same problem. I keep my batteries charged but the needle stays in the white until I run the cart. Then it goes down into the green. Don't know what that means or what the red means. I looked up the company on the net but couldn't find this guage listed. Amazon should contact this seller and discontinue selling this item. Like you, know instructions were included.

I don't know for sure except we have mixed them up before and couldn't tell the difference, works just the same. I had to buy new hand set for the gauge with out a problem.

What are you putting your light on? With mine I tied straight into the existing wire harness for my atv headlights. If I were gonna run a new wire and a switch I would run 12 gauge wire.

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
