Glowshift gauges only stay red?
 
Its really not that big of a deal but I want to be able to change colors on them. I know for sure they are the 7 color changing ones, the buttons arent jammed at all either. Just wondering if the guy before me wired them wrong? I made a jumper to the battery and it seems like they all have a constant ground and so they are on when the truck is off when I jumped it. sorry for the long post...

A lot of people have had all sorts of problems with glowshift gauges, I think it's probably an internal problem with the gauge, not wiring. If they're still under warranty you might look into getting them switched out.

i have had 2 and bolth with problems! and glow shift just says send gage back and they will test it, but my gage now quites after about month and i know thew wont test for month. so now i just have to un hook once in a while to reset. i will not buy another!

mine did the same thing it is just a wiring problem.

Kolish13 what did you do to fix it?

i had some with that problem and looked at them closer and if all the wires are not hooked up or hooked up right they will just stay red and not get power to the leds. nothing against glowshift but didnt care for having to get a new fuel pressure gauge ever other month so there long gone now

i missed hooking up one of the wires and once i hooked it up all was good with all 7 colors cause i wires them in a series and not individual.

just make sure your switched power wire and constant wire is plugged in with a fuse and not somewhere where there is no fuse. mine wasnt wired into where there was a fuse and they did this.

Just tried that, they still are only red... I think I will compare to my buddies truck in the next couple days, he has the same set up

They are cheap S#!t throw them away and get some real gauges and save yourself the headache!

Devon527 11-30-2011 11:06 PM

Besides not changing color I have no complaints about them. I don't think I will get rid of them till they actually quit working. I'm only 19 so my extra money goes towards rent and everything else
