Hi Guys.
I wired up a new oil pressure gauge to my VS on the weekend and am having a few small issues.
Heres how I wired it:
Gauge:
+12V Power/12v Gauge Backlight > Spliced into pink ignition wire (the 12v feed I have used for gauges in the past with no issues)
Gauge Ground Wire > Grounded to one of the metal bars near the fuse box under the kick panel
Oil Pressure Sender:
LED Memory (no idea what that does) > + Battery Terminal as directed by gauge instructions
Sensor Ground Wire > Grounded to the chassis
It seems to work ok but whenever I turn the headlights on or turn the indicators on it seems to throw the readings out by around 10-20PSI so it almost seems like its not been grounded correctly :/
The only thing I can think of is that I grounded the oil pressure gauge to the same point as my voltage gauge (which is also getting its 12v power from the pink ignition wire just FYI)
Can anyone tell me what could be wrong?
Thanks
