running gauges and what not off the one source is good and well, but coz u've jumped it off the cig curcuit, u have to remember that other parts of the elec loom also run off it.

i personnally think as others have said, run a new power source from the battery, hook it thru a relay so it flicks on when acc is on, and then run it to ur gauges. too much load on 1 curcuit is never good, this alone could be the cause. another thing, find a good grounding spot and earth it straight to the body.

on my car i wired my gauges to the ignition wire from the key which is a good thick wire, the earths are going straight to the body and i havnt had any probs. i have a volt, oil press, and air/fuel gauge and they all work fine.

how hard was that to do? you got a step by step?

 

[axemurderer101]

its pretty easy if you have some basic wiring experience. i soldered one wire onto the ignition wire which is under the steering wheel which then went through a fuse and then to one of my guages then i ran a wire from that gauge to the next one and from that gauge to the next one. you need a test light to find the ignition wire or acc wire, i used the ignition wire so that i can see how much my volt gauge goes down when i crank the engine as the acc cuts out when you crank the engine

sweer sa, ive got prety much the same wiring set up at the mo, all three gauges join at the fuze and then connect to the cig lighter power, so all ill have to do is find the right wire and move them over?
