Why does my gauge reset to the default color after I turn my vehicle off?Updated 2 hours ago
If your gauge resets to the factory Blue color after the vehicle is turned off, there are a few things to check:
Check the Constant Power Wire: Make sure the gauge’s constant power wire is connected directly to a 12-volt power source that remains powered with the vehicle both on and off. This connection allows the gauge to retain your selected color.
Check Battery Voltage: Low battery voltage can cause the gauge to reset. Check your vehicle’s battery voltage and make sure it does not drop below 11 volts, especially during startup. Use a multimeter to monitor the voltage while the vehicle is cranking. Our gauges have a built-in safety feature that can stop drawing power if low or dropping battery voltage is detected.
Have the Battery Load Tested: If the issue continues, have your vehicle’s battery load tested by a qualified mechanic, automotive parts store, or battery service center. A load test can identify a weak or failing battery cell that may be causing the voltage to drop during startup.
