I just installed my Greddy temp and fuel pressure gauges. i wired the power wire and grounding wire to the middle console. when i plugged the wires into the gauges, the light did not come on so i took them out of the gauges and checked the end of the wire to see if they were getting power and they were. what would cause the power to not be able to get the gauges powered?

Lemme get clarification...are they powering up and just not getting any lighting or nothing at all?

Red=12v constant
Orange=12v switched
White=Illumination
Black=Ground

Where are all these hooked up? Is your orange hooked up to a good switched source? If you're not getting any lighting, is your white hooked up to a good lighting lead?

Calm down, I never said there was anything wrong with a Turbo timer (was directed at Adam C) as he has this thing about turbo timers and more or less believes who ever has one doesn't have the sense to own an FD. I happen to have one, I bought mine for my own reasons and am quite happy with it. SO now which categorey are you in ? ? ?the one where you don't hook up all the wires or the one who owns a turbo timer ? ? ? LOL
