Help again with gauges!

[bigjb08]

Alright guys, I got everything hooked up and got my new DP chip in. There is one problem though! I have lights to all my gauges and the boost gauge is working fine. The trans temp and Pyrometer gauges are nt working though. They both light up and the needles jump when I start the truck, but they do not read anything even after about ten minutes of driving. Any advice would be helpful. Should I pull them out and start all over?

How are your pyrometer & trans temp gauges hooked up?

[bigjb08]

They are wired the way it told me too. I have a wire running from sender to the tranmission where the plug gos. I have the pyrometer lines tapped into the manifold and then running back to the gauge. They are gronded together and have the 12 volt wired together. I might have the 12 volt hooked into the wrong fuse spot. I dont know?

Check your ground.

Check your ground x2.

I daisy chained my ground's together and found a ground wire under my dash, cut it and tied the grounds together. On the power side I found the 12v power wire to my dimmer for my dash and cab lights and cut and tied also. so they would dim with my dash lights. Tapped my power from my fuses- kinda helped I used a tester so I knew what I was getting in to.........I hooked up a triple piller

I hooked up a triple pillar from Diesel Manor using their instructions... no issues. Check your ground X3.

get a test light and check all your power supplies to make sure their givin the guages the power it needs i know when i did mine i used the quick connects and they wouldnt work. turns out i didnt push the quick connect through the wire enough to get the power from it

check ground x4

we should take bets lol.

[binder man]

make sure ground is good and the hot side is getting a full 12 volts...I put in redpowerstroker's gauges and he wasn't getting a full 12 and they wouldn't work, it was just like you said it would light up and the boost would work since it is mech.
