i have the pro carparts gauges ,when i turn the switch to blue it causes some sort of interference, a buzz sound. Has anyone else experienced this also where do i wire them to. thanks also if anyone has pics or sites i could see i would appreciate it.

 

When you say "interference", do you mean some kinda radio noise?? Is this interference coming over the speakers ?? And just WHERE and HOW do you have your gauges wired up?

If done correctly, you should be able to 'tap' 12V and ground right on the gauge pod itself. At least, that's what I've done. And I've had 3 different sets of gauges in the past 18+ months with absolutely NO interference or problems with wiring.

PM me if you need some help with wiring or stuff.

 

the noise is a buzz sound coming from the little black box on the gauge controller i guess its a transistor but it goes away when i put a cd in. which wire cluster has the wires i need to tap? thanks for your reply.

 

all indiglos seem to have that low buzz...its not a big deal

 

What type of guages did you get because I am considering getting their blue green guages but I want to know how hard it is to install them. These are the guages right here

 

yeah those are the ones i got they are not hard to install. i slipped them over the old ones. the buzz is only on the blue color but i think it is some kind of interference because when i put a cd in its gone. how do you replace the needles ? some of you have done this also which wires do i tap on the cluster?

 

Alright, I just installed these yesterday and have been trying to post about them w/pics but the org keeps going down...
I wired mine into the defroster switch's light wires. Any wire on the car that's red w/yellow is the parking lights - so tap into one of those if you want. If you tap into the radio power wire or the remote turn on, you'll get interference and buzzing w/the radio. However, if my car is off and I turn the parking lights on, I do hear a buzz from the gauges anyways - it seems like that will happen w/all glow-gauges...

 

Oh, and Turdlett - look on eBay, I got mine for about $30-35 shipped... If you need any help installing them, let me know, I'm just up in Derby...

 

OK so if I have any problems I will definately PM you. Thanx

 

OK, after having listened for the buzzing, it seems I have a very low buzzing audible with the gauges on... I havent checked to see if it goes off when the CD player is used tho...

 

Every set of glow gauges I have ever had (all 3 of them on 3 diff. cars) have made that buzzing noise. Mainly when you switch it to blue and turn them up all the way. Why? i have no idea, but i think its normal.

install an RF filter

 

Dang, that's unusual... because none of my 3 made any noise like that. Maybe an RF filter WILL help out. Wouldn't hurt to try, I guess.
