I have a 6V gauge running on a 12Volt system.
My gauge reads correctly, I swear!

not the cleanest way, but it works.  That's the way I set them up.

There are guys out there who swear that they can runa 6V gauge on 12V
but it doesn't work.

There are no relays in the gas gauge circuit. :(

has all your wiring and electrical been checked for 12v you might have some 6v wiring and relays, switches, etc. or it might be wired up wrong. rick ----- Original Message ----- From: Dan <mailto:ThatVWGuy@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, March 02, 2008 8:33 PM Subject: [tcb] Gas Gauge Question
My gas gauge seems to work fine until I turn on my headlights. When I turn on the lights the needle instantly pegs past full. Any ideas as to what is wrong? -Dan
