To the guys running the speedhut gauges... Do you have any problems with the gauges, for instance the water temp, & oil pressure gauges. my water temp will rise up about 10 degrees when turning on the headlights, another 5 or so when hitting the brakes, and also when turning on the climate control. The oil pressure does the same but just started doing it more often, and it spikes from time to time. Turn the car off and it resets and then its fine. I've checked the voltage going to the gauge wires when turning the lights on and so on and there's really no lose of power that should cause any issues. Also double checked the ground, its good. Even used test leads to the battery for grounds and powers and still does it... Also the gauge wires for the water temp and oil pressure run directly to the engine, Also put the signal wires for the dash lights and power supply on relays still no luck on the gauges working properly. The fuel gauge is using the oem wire but it reads perfect and no issues with it, Tach is ran to the ecu, works fine, Speedometer is gps so no hook up besides the supply harness that allows all the power, illumination and ground wires together to the converter box.
I'm out of things to try... Anyone got any suggestions or ideas on whats causing the gauges to fluctuate.
also I'm running a Braille battery, its small but the voltage is right at 14volts at idle, even with all the accessories on its still at 14volts. Thanks for the help in advance.
