Aeroforce gauge won't power up.

[srtlat]

Bought a used set off a guy. 1 works perfect
Other one I can't get it to power on. I don't think I am doing anything wrong.

Is there a trick to getting it on? Maybe a reset??

Mine would lag sometimes and take awhile. I think if you press both buttons at the same time it will force it to power on after the cars on.

I have the issue Roy mentions every once in a while. I think the cable specifically needs to be plugged into each gauge in order. If pushing both buttons doesn't work, you can try maybe unplugging them and swapping them around? It's been a while so I may be wrong... hopefully it turns on.

Unfortunately I have tried almost everything and still no luck

Aeroforce gauges can either be wired to run off 12v source or the data plug. Make sure the one gauge isnt setup for 12v

How do I figure that out?

I have that problem once in a while.
For me the following procedure works.
Ignition on and only one of the gauges comes on.
While still ignition on, unplugg the OBD connector and then plug it in again.
Then both gauges comes on.

Search the internet? Call Aeroforce?

It's been years since I installed my Aeroforce but I wired mine to be hot via 12v not off the Data connector. I believe you need to put a jumper wire or something inside the unit but I could be imagining that.
