its an electric drift brand gauge, iv have all the wires hooked up, it has 7 different colours and when i only hooked it up to the light circuit only 4 colours worked and when it got full 12v all the colours work so i know i have power to it.
only thing that i can think it could be iv ran the wire to the sensor but using a sensor i have off a vct head i have in the shed so not using there sensor as its too bulky. i can weld up the holes for the oil line on the vct sender extension and use the sensor that came with the kit. thats about all i can think of cheers

lol
You need to use the sender they provided. There is a fair chance both sensors are completely different. |

thats what i was thinking, i have the vct extension just need to plug the holes so ill weld it up at work and then in clears the coil packs....test tried it before.

also i have a oil temp guage for the sender can i just drill and tap a hole in it. or is that a stupid idea. was going to use hi temp locktight to seal it so it doesnt need to be tight

i think i have a dud gauge, there is a voltage from the sender to an earth but no reading on the gauge so i might go buy a new gauge a better quality one tomorrow.

it has 5 wires.
12v - orange Acc - red earth - black light - white sender - green like discribed before with only lights hooked up only 4 colours worked but with 12v all work well i can get all the colours so i know i have power to it, ran the wire from the sender to the green wire and also earthed the sender aso should be working. dont know what else to do with it.
