Paging Tony@AirRideTech
Tony-
I'm having trouble with the pressure gauge on my 77. When I start my truck it comes on and reads correctly. After a short period the digits fade out. I have checked the ground wire, and made sure it was making a solid connection. I also checked the +12v source and it keeps constant voltage even after the display fades out. What the heck is going on? Oh, btw it's one of these-

Re: Paging Tony@AirRideTech
that is strange....... It sounds like the gauge is bad or like you are loosing continuity somewhere. Do you have your "illumination" wire hooked up? I might try disonnecting that if you do and see what happens.

Re: Paging Tony@AirRideTech
Tell me what colors wires go where and I can give an answer. I know Roger gave the installation guide back to me, but I can't seem to find it. I traced the harness coming from the gauge. Four wires go south and I will assume they go to the sensors. I have a black wire going to ground, and a red wire going to a fuse terminal that is keyed hot. Is there a third "illumination" wire? If so, what color is it. That could be my problem.
BTW- As a point of reference the gauge has worked fine every since it was installed. This just started happening after I picked it up from the motor install.

I did just discover a yellow wire that looks like it was connected (end is stripped) and now it's not. I did not have time to trace it back and see if it was coming from the guage harness. XXL- I assume it's vacuum fluorescent lighting as it is not LED.

Re: Paging Tony@AirRideTech
It is VFD... they were built for us by Dakota Digital. Give someone a call up at Dakota and see what they have to say.... the blue wire is for your illumination dimmer. Unhook that one if it is not already done and see what it does.
