Default Re: "S" off / No bars

Well I'm not sure if that was part of the problem or just coincidence. That worked until I touched the guage. I've noticed that if I disconnect the rj connector from the back of the guage and hold it in very gently that it will work. None of the pins are bent or out of place. And the odd thing is, it works the same if I plug the guage in and gently hold/wiggle the connector on the controller box.

I am confuse. Oh well, I'll make up a new RJ connector with mirrored wiring. If you have any other suggestions, fire away. I won't be back to my car's current resting place until I have my rad repaired though :P

thanks!

I have heard of this before.

Gently bend the latching tab out a little until it stands about 35-45 degrees. The tab was probably under some stress when the cable was rolled into a conformal bundle.

Talking Re: "S" off / No bars

So, I finally got back to my car to give it a try. As simple as it was, bending the tabs fixed it all. If only I would have wiggled the wires sooner.

"The simplest solution is usually the right one"

Thanks for all the help Richard!

Thanks for the update. Must find a good way to roll up the gauge cable up without affecting the latching tab.
