Gee C10CG, I sure would like to see those dash lights light up. Maybe because they're LED and should give a cool glow to the dash. Did you hook up the dash lights after you took them off the circuit?

So guess what? I have dash lights. A couple or a few don't seem to be working but that is most likely from improper wiring and not running through the circuit board correctly. Fortunately I haven't fried any more boards.

I would love some direction or confirmation on how the "Battery" or voltage gauge should be wired as I believe this is one of the dash lights that is not working. I have one side wired to the alternator and one side to 12V power but they are not run through the junction boxes under the wheel wells. Are these necessary for resistance or something similar?

Thanks.
