    SpeedHut Gauges - Inverter for Dial Lights

    I think I've got a DOA...

    Does anyone have the specs on the I/O voltage of one of these?

    I've got 13.7vdc on the input (wh & bk), but 0v AC or DC on the output (Bk/dots & BK). I've run the pot full swing and no change.

    Contact Speedhut for a replacement. Unfortunately they are often DOA...I think it took 3 tried to get a working one on one car I built.

    Apparently according to them, this used to be an issue which they resolved with a new module. I replaced mine within the past year and the newer one appeared different. Speedhut has tremendous customer service and will ship you out a new one.

    Received a replacement inverter the other day, plugged it in, and voila! Dash lights.

    Took nothing more than an email to SpeedHut explaining the situation and they sent one out.
