Autogauge Boost Gauge Questions

[MrTerry]

Hey a couple questions, ive got an autogauge boost gauge and i managed to stuff up the end of the sensor wire that plugs in to the actual gauge >.<

Its a little white clip with 4 holes for the pins and 3 wires coming out the other end, just wondering if anyone knows where i could get another with a few wires sticking out so i can properly attach it.

Also has anyone successfully turned off the way-too-loud beep when it turns on, drives me crazy!

thanks

I have those ..never heard a beep though. And yes I managed to ruin one of those clips as well - did a bit of a hack job to reinsert it and hold it in there with bluetack (don't ask) But yeah when I looked around all the electronics stores no one had such small clip. Best suggestion was to simply get single wire clips of that size as you only have 2 wires to connect and then insert them individually. You may need to goto a electronics whoelsaler/specialist

or if that's too much hassle look on ebay for a cheap gauge ..they come branded in a few different names. I've seen them as low as $30, you could just use the wire that comes with it for your gauge

hmm i guess ill try grabbing some single wire clips then, my current hack job is terrible thanks for the help.

Have a look at farnell inone, or rs components.. Both suppliers have a comprehensive online catalogue. From memory it wasn't that rare a connector, I had one before I realised it was out by about 5psi and filed it.

Muting or Activating the Warning Alarm

• To mute …immediately after you turn the key on and the gauge powers up into self test mode … hold the set button in until the alarm stops.
