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

I did not use the electrical gauges that came with stand. When you are testing a engine I want to use only mechanical gauges so you can get a true picture of water and oil pressure.

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

Wire gauge is to small I think plus mine didn't work out of the box but if your gonna use it most important thing is the ground. Make sure ground is clean of paint for better contact.

Mike, had this issue once with my old pump, I accidentally switched the L1 and L2 wires. Mark them first ( for the future) and swap them. I also heard to make sure the internal ground and the external copper ground is attached as well. Hope this helps, once you dial in the timers this pump is pretty awesome.

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.

I did have to swap mine once as the first shipment did not have the mounting bracket. It was promptly shipped back with everything needed. Just need wire and connectors. My gauge has 40 hrs on it so far and is going strong . I do recommend this product

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.

I didn't have any problem with the gauge. Having never used this product and not being a car guy I was using the gauge, but once the compressor kicked on the needled redlined. So I had to start letting coolant out, while the compressor was engaged, until the needle on the dial dropped back to the proper zone. Some of those responses may have been from people like me who have no experience and just don't know how to work it properly. That being said, I am sure you could buy just a gauge on amazon or your local car supply store.

I used 10 Gauge, distance to the battery and controller charging output (Amps) has a bearing on the wire gauge size. Go larger rather then smaller, it make the system more efficient and saver.

I had the same problem too but it turn out that one of the wire crimp was not connecting correctly. I would check all the 12v wire make sure it have a good connection. If you still have problem, give flex a lite a call and they will take care of you. thanks

The gauge has marking for all three. R134,R12,R22 different color number for each. Hope that answers your question. Have a Great Day

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

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

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)

A good brand 8 Gauge should be good for this amp, if(I don't know how you could)you added an extra $10 on the purchase, I have some New 8 Gauge Rolls, I could put together a pretty nice wire kit and ship together! And I can Print of the 18 Page Manual to send along also. Or email it to you!

You try turning the gauge after measuring (without touching the barrel). There are measurements & lines in between the lines that you are seeing

I do not believe wire gauge has anything to do with it, i would check the settings on the AVR or the source

Well your kind of lucky because I just realized both of mine are wired like that. I followed the wiring instructions and I seem to have the same problem. Something is backwards and coincidentally I was going to look into it today. I really thought I had it right the first time around. Oh well. If you find the answer let me know , I'll do the same.
