Voltmeter Gauge... WTF
I bought an APC Voltmeter gauge today and installed it. 2 wires off the gauge, 4 off the inverter. I installed a A/F gauge (APC) no problem. The 2 wires off the gauge goto the inverter, and 2 wires off there goto power. Start up, and all I get is the backglow. The needle doesnt move at all. The instruction are lame as hell and couldve been written by a 2 1/2 year old. You would think that... 2 wires from gauge would be for power. A voltmeter, that measures how much volts, would work when it gets powered.
Anywho, my QU is what am I doing wrong? Do I need to hook it up to something else? It's daisy-chained off my A/F gauge thats hooked up to the cig lighter. Whats the beef? Thanks

Re: Voltmeter Gauge... WTF
best i can say without seeing it is to check all your connections. also try running straight wires for just it instead of having your af gauge inline with it.

Re: Voltmeter Gauge... WTF
DOesn't it seem tho that the gauge should have a couple more wires coming out of it? the 2 wires go straight to the inverter. Seems there should be more. There's not too many choices. When I get home form work, im going to take it off and try a different source of power, like off the bat instead of cig lighter.
If that doesnt work, is it possible to hook up to ECU? I know there's like 4 ground wires. Hack one and find a (+) then. Maybe?
