Plasma dials

[andazw]

I have just installed my plasma dials and when i turned the engine off there was a ticking noise coming from behind the dash.

When i turned the ngine on it sometimes does it, just randomly.
any ideas??

[stevyj]

ticking noise is usually a relay or a shortage of o waire and the clicking noise is the cable arc-ing. make sure theres no trapped cables

Stopped doing it now anyways..

Another problem, filled the tank today but the petrol guage only went just over half way point and the temp guage only goes up slightly, rather than the usual half'ish

Any idea's on that 1?

Sounds like the needles are in the wrong place? Did you take them off to fit the plasma dials?

[andazw]

naaa didnt take them off, just worked the dials around em

i had this when i fitted them to my car, the needle was getting caught on the gauge.. just make sure they are all firmly in place and that nothing is restricting there movement :y:

yea as above, i had to tape mine down at places and not underneath as it catchs the needle and stops them working. takes quite a time to line up properly and put case back on without moving them

lol yeah i had that problem with my rev counter and temp gauge i managed to sort the rev one out by putting tape on the back of it and some handy super glue lol :)
but the temp gauge i just put an after market one in :y:
