That will just look odd mate. all the lights come on when the ignition comes on so i would keep it that way.

Wire it up as i mentioned in the start of the guide and you wont go wrong it does work.

bring this back again.

i have auto gauge boost and oil temp. Both have 4 wires and i only want the lights to come on when i turn the lights on.

Any tips on wiring been searching for ages as i dont want to cut into wires until i know i have the right ones.

I grabbed the energy from the ESP/TCS button

All done now. Its wired up so that the gauges only light up when i turn the lights on, ie when its dark. There also controlled by the dash dimmer for brightness. All done now.

I just thought it would look daft the gauge lights coming on with no other lights...:shrug:

You don't get them out you just "piggy back" onto them.
Either solder the new wire to the one you "need" or cut the wire and use crimpers/electrical connectors/chocolate/amp blocks.

What car you got? take off the engine cover its on the injection rail on the right hand side looks like a dump valve but its not!!! (Thats the FPR) has a pipe coming off it T into that and cable tie the pipe across the rail and around the pipes to go up into the bulkhead

Sorry to bring back an old thread but have a few questions.

Had my AutoGauge Boost gauge setup and working for about 6 months it used to:
remember last selected colour
dim with light dimmer etc
generally working as expected

but recently it has:

started forgetting the last colour

when cycling through the 7 colours it will get stuck after the first repeat of the 7 colours i.e. after 8 clicks it them stops changing colour and doesn't start working again until you leave ignition off for a while occasionally it will start working after switching ignition off and on immediately.


Also the needle always sits at about -2 and always has which is annoying


I have check the fuse t the perm live and checked connections (as best i could as the wires are in crimp connectors and are now taped up to stop movement. If this likely a fault gauge or a faulty connection?

Also will halfords replace it after 6month (i do the have receipt)

cheers
