Maybe im just used to my old cheapie gauges with open & close ceremonys which would zero every time. thoughts?

They retain the readings when switched off, then zero & calibrate on power up. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78203-tutorial-gauge-install/page/7/#findComment-1495651 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its part # 9114, about $38 . So when the time to update the gauges came I grabbed a dimmer too. Very straight forward install, only 3 wires to connect, and it really works! I guess it would work with the cheapie gauges with led/smd illumination. Took a vid , so here goes- Edited 17/09/14 08:54 AM by hawlass Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78203-tutorial-gauge-install/page/7/#findComment-1499840 Share on other sites More sharing options...
