air/fuel gauge install probs

I've searched the forum and I can't find anyone with this problem. We are trying to install on my brother s4 turbo II. I've hooked up the autometer air/fuel gauge and it lights up but VERY dim. We've checked and rechecked all connections, tried new grounds and still dim. Only thing we can think of is it's the guage?!? ...any ideas??

Isn't one of the connections a dimmer for when you turn the headlights on? What wire's that connected to?

I've never seen a Autometer AFR gauge..... but my fingers found the AUTOMETER.COM web page http://hp.autometer.com/homepage/homepage.html and they have a technical area that has downloads for installs of their equipment, such as ... http://hp.autometer.com/instruction_...tions/837j.pdf

And, i didn't really look, but I bet there is a number you can call for advice on that site.
