Fixed the digital guages.
 
I've been driving with only the temp guage working. Today, I fixed the mini-memory tach and oil pressure guages. Unfortunately, the voltmeter guage is shot. I'll have to order another one. Spikes in the system have finished off two guages. :(

Here is a video at idle:

I also fixed the dual 12" Kicker Comp woofers too. Now I can thump thump all day!!

Next up: fixing the dash panel lights so I know when the cooling fans are running.

Re: Fixed the digital guages.
 
I'm wondering if maybe these gauges could benefit from a filter capacitor on their power supply lines ? I run a filter capacitor on my MSD box and one of the purposes it serves is to protect the box from power spikes. Might be something to look in to. Good to know since I was planning on getting some of these.
