Howdy y'all!

I'm trying to track down a defi issue. I have defi bf gauges and need someone with the same to test out a control unit for this series.

Help!

Free beer!

 

whats wrong with your defi gauges?

 

Hi Tony! (This is Dave... I parked next to you at last years BAM car show.)

My gauges worked fine until car was stored over the winter. When I got the car out of storage the gauges would not work and the control unit simply made a continuous, rapid clicking noise and would not light per illumination. I traced back all wires and found that a rat or some other insidious rodent had chewed the boost sensor wire in the engine bay. All other connections were ok and intact. No damages or rodents in the car interior.

I replaced the boost sensor and control unit with no luck. New control unit lights but I bought it used from a nasioc member.

I replaced the meter output wire which had been having a loose pin issue and no luck there either.

I tried different gauges as the start of the series, tried swapping the connections. Gauges do not work, go through opening sequence, nothing. Pins on gauges are intact. I tried one gauge and one sensor at a time. Nothing!

And yes, the meter output is wired to output 2, all gauge sensors are in the proper spaces on the control unit and all wiring to the harness for power, ground, illumination, etc are correct and unchanged from previous working configuration.

The wires for the defi power are on the radio harness and the radio has had no issues throughout this time.

help! ;-)

 

Been out in the garage this morning... still can't fix it! Frrrrustrated! Lulz

 

Anyone? Help! I'll come to you, meet up, whatever...

 

I have the regular defi racer gauge. What are the BF series?

 

As long as you have a control unit 2 (not the newest "advance" series) it would work I believe.

BF ="black face"

 

Hey man you can test it on my setup. I'm in Fremont

 

i will have a car with control unit 2 out at the va jay jay meet on WED. you are more than welcome to test with mine

 

Whew! Thanks guys.

I'll try to make it out the the VA j j . If I can't I'll try to head to Fremont.
