I have the Speedhut Classic gauge set in my MkIV on a Ron Francis loom - I have driven just under 2500miles and yesterday the voltmeter stopped registering. I have done a few checks and it is looking like the gauge is faulty, but just wondering if anybody has had a similar issue and if I am missing something?
When I turn the key all of the gauges move....including the voltmeter where the needle briefly jumps off 0 and then returns. The other gauges are all working fine and read as expected, but the Voltmeter remains on 0 when the engine is running. All of the accesory items such as wipers work, the gauges all light up so the light circuit is fine, I have pulled the gauge fuse and they all stop working as you would expect............fuse back in all works except for the voltmeter. As I understand it the lighting is on a seperate power feed, and the powerfeed to all the gauges is connected so it should be all or nothing.........I figure that the moment I turn the key the voltmeter should be indicating the battery charge regardless of whether the engine is running or not. Everything worked fine until yesterday.
My Speedhut Oil Pressure Sensor has also failed a while ago, so slightly miffed at this happening so early on.
Any ideas are welcome
cheers, Brett.
