firsthl let me say how sorry i am to be posting this but
im getting interferance on some of the gauges, the oil pressure works perfictly, no issues with that one, how ever the oil tem and o2 gauge are having massive problems with electrical interferance, eg, bass notes caus the nedles to bounce (this i can live with) the main problem is that when ever the head lights are on (and the gauges are dimmed cuz of the dimmer function) jumps up heaps! by 20+degrees on the oil temp gauge also on long drives when the car is using more power (cooling etc) it reads at 150-160+ degrees, which i know the oil is not at, how do i know that you ask? when i stop the car turn the head lights off it drops to 120c and when i turn the car off (gauges are still on) and it reads a steady 100c - which is what it should be
the o2 gauge is much the same, yesterday i went for a 2 hour drive to auckland, the o2gauge read lean all the way, which im prety sure it shouldent do, and the temp gauge read 180c
we all know that the car would have exploded if those were the case, the oil pressure was great and bang on the whole way
so....... how do i fix the problem?
any help or ideas would be great
im sure others have had this issue
thanks guys, and sorry to be posting about the damn things again!!
