I have a stage 1 gauge set up molded into my dash. I have a Transmission temp gauge, Oil pressure gauge, and a volt meter. All digital, and wired correctly, with good seperate grounds.
However, ive noticed that when my voltage drops from 14.4 to less then 13v, my temp and pressure gauges drop to 0 for about 2 mins, and then they go back to working correctly.
Now i figure its an electrical problem, but i cant figure out where. Should i use the same ground for all 3? And everything follows the directions, and all wires are connected with either gold plated terminals or directly spliced together. I checked each of their fuses, the fuse block, grounds, connections, and both set of battery connection, all seems well.? Could it be because of the 2 Red top batteries?
The volate drop should not effect any of my gauges adversly, since they only draw 0.2v each.
Any ideas?
no one yet, hmmmm, need to figure out how to think.
can i see a pic of ur gauges? they sound sweet...
sorry i cant help you, not much good with wiring that kinda stuff... maybe ask viper9821 or wutever, hes pretty smart
the ground really doesnt matter seperate or common, id be more inclined to run your guages directly to the battery and not to some place other than that with a 12v source and maybe run a seperate power line for each, or you could just get a new alternator. I used to have this problem with my old air fuel guage it wouldnt work under 13v, if your running 2 batteries i hope you have an upgraded alternator that could be alot of your problem its not able to keep up charging 2 batteries.

Im using two 6volt red tops, I have them inside the rear trunk lining.
Turns out, that the company, Dakota Digital had a recall on them. So im sending them back, ill use my old Styleline sunpro's till i get them fixed.
Thanks for your help rodimus.
