Second issue with power to gauge

[Richard L]

No, it shouldn't.

Where is the main 12V supply from the power plug goes to at the moment?

Are you using the dimmer control? (purple wire). Also check with the gauge wire is plug in properly, wiggle it a bit (both ends) and see if the gauge flickers?

12v power is coming from the cig lighter as it is no longer used in the car. I jiggled both ends of the gauge and it does not make the gauge flicker at all. I have moved both grounds to two different areas and sanded back the metal to rule out grounding being the problem.

I have a video of what the gauge does if it helps at all ? The video is of me with the car on idle and turning the air-con on and off. However the problem is not restricted to the AC it also does this randomly on the road, not just at stall point.

The video is private, I don't wish to cause any bad rep to Aquamist as you guys are just so damn keen to help out !

Do you use the dimming control?

I have just watched the video, I have not see this before.

Please try the following:
1. Relocate the red wire (molex) to th ebattery directly.
2. test it for flicker
3. Relocate the red wire of the grey connector to the battery (ensure the engine is running)
4. test for flicker.

If it persist, I will send you a controller, I would love to see what causes it. Thank for the discretion. Nowaday, competitors are so keen to take things out of context for the purpose of negtive marketing .

I did not wire up the purple dimmer wire. I will do that test ASAP and let you know of the results.

The video made it look worse than it is, the system will actually stay perfect for a few mins and spray correctly on boost but during some gear changes, turning on the AC or just random driving it will do what you saw in the video.

Now that you have seen the video I have taken it down Issues with technical equipment occur, be it user or manufacturing fault. I have noticed that people like to point out any faults with Aquamist products, but I guess that comes with the territory when you are the best in the game

Appreciate the support !

Okay, completed those tests and the results have stayed exactly the same

Just to confirm, 1 red wire was the actual power for the control unit and the other was the red injector wire on the "ecu" harness ?

I also lightly sprayed the underside of the board with WD-40 incase it was moisture related but it seems as though it is not the problem.

Think I have found the issue, gauge cable appears to be wired incorrectly. Was speaking to Troy ( burnzy ) and he confirmed this.

Always something small...... I was almost certain it wasn't the controller as it injects water and the green LED is following IDC pulses.

[Richard L]

Great news.

Just heard from Burnzy, new cables is on the way. The system will continue to work even with the gauge removed. This is a difficult one to diagnose.

Thanks for the support Richard, much appreciated. Aquamist FTW
