Is the cable plugged in to the OBDII port?

 

Did you pull the jumper from the back out?
How are you powering it?

 

i tapped into my boost gauge wire

yep.

when it starts up its just red man no letters no anything just red

 

The pink wire for the boost gauge right?
Just checking.

Make sure the jumper tab is pulled from the back.
Give it 3 seconds after the car is turned on and then wait 3 more seconds and see if anything happens.

 

alls thats on the back are the obd2 port plug and then the 3 wires that are plugged in. then theres 2 little copper prongs on the side. the red power wire for the interceptor is connected to the pink wire from the boost gauge.

 

Did you buy the gauge new or used?

Does it have the two "shift lights" near the top of the gauge?

 

used from rallycobalt06. yes it has the 2 shift lights on the top

Damn man i'm trying to think of what would give a blank screen and all I can think of is OBDII because it's not getting information. I would think that you would get the SS screen at least and then go blank though. I don't know man just stick with it. Someone here may have run into this before.

 

don't they say not to run the power from the boost gauge? thought i read that somewhere but it might have been for a wideband.

 

Umm.. How hot is it out. I know mine is all Blue if it has been out in the sun for a while. As in the letters dont show up well.

And... Have you heard about the GB ZZP is having Lol

 

idk what to do guys its 60 here so thats not an issue but this has me very very frustrated

 

Well, not being that hot even, in the car it can get warm, and especially if it is in direct sunlight.

 

in the garage and the suns not out. i am ******* pissed i cant figure this out. its obviously getting power but theres no display appearing

 

Hmm... Okay, how about... Did you check your fuse, like for your cigarette lighter, and also for your windshield wipers

Cigarette lighter fuse = OBD Port
Windsheild Wiper Fuse = Boost Gauge Port

Since it is getting power, it is probably not the Boost gauge one, but.. It would still ground out through the OBD port and not get info if it was the OBD port fuse

 

how do i check the obd port?

 

ur boost gauge doesnt supply enough power to power the gauge...i would try tappin it into the ignition where theres more power to work with

 

well its getting plunty of power i think the guage lights up and **** theres just absolutely no display on the gauge when its lit up

edit: i am going to take pics so mybe u guys can see something i am missing

 

might sound stupid,but i think there is a fuse for the obd connecter..not 100%sure

 

well then maybe seeing as there is no display at all, only lights, maybe it isn't getting enough power.

 

how bout the connectors it self...i think the obd is a female and the scanner is a male...maybe one of them is bent and not reading properly

 

i treid a add-a-circuit and it just did the same thing man

i looked at all the prongs and there all fine. shittp ics are being uploaded right now

 

go to autozone and have them use there scanner and have them plug it into the obd connector,if theres works,than that means ur gauge is broke or u arent getting enough power

 

any other way to check as the closest any1 with a scanner is 30 miles away?

 

i beleive syp has one at his house...check with him on the garage site
