Oh Shit I Hope Its Just A Fuse...help Pls

[Speedchef]

Hi

I had a boost gauge problem and was told that if i soldered the three pins at the top of the board it should fix it......

Well i tried this and now ive got NO gauges working at all including odermeter, rev gauge, battery nothing works!

I'm hoping maybe i touched something together and blew something, i had a look at a couple of fuses 10amp (eng cont)

but they are fine.....can anyone shed some light on my problem?

Thanks

get a voltmeter and test each and every fuse you have, both fuse boxes in the engine bay and in the driver side footwell. i've messed around with electricals and never had any real problems but a few blown fuses.

I have a R34 GTT. My stock boost gauge decides when it will and won't work. Sometimes it works fine, look back at it 60 seconds later and it's dropped out again! Lol.

I had a read of a thread on here that spoke about the stock boost gauges and how they are notorious for only working sometimes. Apparently the wiring to the gauges isn't the best... The wiring in general is pretty shit house in the cars from what others say. Lol.

I thought about taking things apart and re-soldering wires to try and get it working full time, but decided it may lead to more trouble then it's worth (like losing all my gauges) so I left it alone and haven't worried about it since. That and the fact the stock boost gauges a mega inaccurate.

Better of installing a aftermarket boost gauge.

As for help On how to fix your problem..... Not sure? Worse comes to worse... Auto elec.

Sometimes little things can turn into big things, and unless it's truly effecting the cars drivability, it's most likely best left untouched.

Either way, let me know how you go.

most likely blown fuse if u didnt disconnected battery while working, just pull out each fuse with pliers, ones that are blown would be obvious, replace with similar fuse

My bet is a burned trace now

Or you simply didn't solder correctly and the ground plane isn't working now

Rule one never solder a circuit board while wired up with power

check fuse for radio, gauges, cig lighter, lights

even worse you overheated a critical component on the board and now it's dead

Or fried a trace which now needs repaired ( worked like a fuse and fried!)

since none work check ground plane of circuit

and look for burned traces
