Hey guys

I've been having some problems lately on my 2002 gages, they recently haven't been lighting up. It seems everytime they do light up i dont even have to press the button to light the leds which are blue, they only stay lit for a few minutes too. Can anybody tell me wat i should to adress the situation? Ohh and the regular bulbs when i turn on the outside lights turn on but they arent powerfull enough to light up the gauges!

What kind of gauges do you have? After market? Where did you get them? Did they come with instructions? And where in the hell did you get that front bumper? I think you got ripped off if you paid more that 5 bucksfor it![:'(]

I believe they are the stock light up gauges it came with the car when i bought it, and the bumper was a replacement because i cracked the old one it was the stalker bumper originally. At off all the places i saw the bumper i got it for a really cheep price i think. Anyways wat do u think is wrong some people told me it could be a loose wire and i dont know how to take it out?

apparently you have some poorly installed aftermarket gauge faces and the wires are probably loose.

I didnt mean to be a dick but that bummper, man its got to go. Anyway,I would say you have a loose wire, and it might work and cut out after five mintes I think you said, probably vibrations from the car running makes it loose the connection. Pull it apart and look for loose, or frayed wires.
