Thanks,
Mike

Is it a mechanical or electronic boost gauge?

No worries, they each have their own inherent issues so it helps knowing which type when hunting down the problem.

Let me see if I can find the gauge schematic and I'll let you knop if I think of any trobleshooting steps to take.

Have you PM'd Ryan or Glen? That may be your best bet as I'm sure they have a checklist of common problems and suggested solutions.

Like I said though...I'll see what I can find out for ya.

Ryan and Glen ARE Prosport Gauges which is why I suggested that.

Their usernames are:

Do you know off hand if the backlight and power are run off the same line or do they have separate leads?

Sorry, just got home so really haven't had a chance to look for anything yet...but I will!
