i got my indiglo gauges installed finally...i followed the write up on fc3s.org and they didnt work so i searched here and changed the wire i was tapping to red/green like one of the threads said but the stupid things still won't work... everything else in the dash is getting power but not the gauges....im thinkin i have a bad ground, i tapped a wrong wire, or the gauges are broken

anyway have an idea wats up or how to fix it????

I had same problem, I just gave it straight power from a thick red wire. Sodered it on. Granted they are on all the time, but they work.

I'd like to keep direct power as a last resort...i wanna keep it wired in the dash if at all possible...any more ideas anyone??

I had the same problem, there is a clip that is not connected on the rights side of the rear of the bezel if you have a volt checker turn the lights off and on to see what wire has the power. If I am correct it is the green with red, use the black for the ground. What year is your car?....took me a week to get it and mine work fine.

I meant it is on the right side above the wiper switch connection of the gauge bezel...

probably the ground. Those gauges are tough to get grounded right, and if they're not grounded right they won't work/
