boost gauge not working?
well i was driving on the freeway, everything was fine. I got to work and noticed my boost gauge was not working. It was stuck almost @ the very bottom. Also when I turn off my ignition it does not go back down to the standard off. Everytime I turn on the ignition it still stays at the bottom. I even rev the car and still nothing happens. Does anyone know what the problem is, or how can it b fixed? Is it a loose sensor?

I just took it to the dealership about 2 weeks ago and they replaced it. They said it was the first time they had that happen. They said its not the fuse, its the actuall guage, getting stuck and dying out.

yea its not hard it electrical...easy to install but pricey i think i saw some on ebay for like 60 to 100 and from gm i think its like 130...that is for the same OEM one that may break again....as for others i've had trouble finding electrical boost guages other then that one..others are mechanical and reguire you to tap the boost line which i already have my meth kit hooked up to.but they tend to be cheaper
and don't get me wrong i love gm and chevy...but more of the old gm and chevy...they went a little asian on us but hey can't blame them they have to to stay in buisness
