gauges drawing power

speedjunkie · 08-31-2009, 04:06 PM

I was thinking the same thing after reading some other stuff. Someone asked me if I had peak and hold, and it does make sense that it would need constant power to retain memory. I have 5 gauges with peak and hold. And I'm also using an Odyssey PC680.

Other culprits before was a starter booster from Pettit (only because the original problem made itself known right after installing that), the door lock problem is still there but it's unhooked now. I don't remember what else I thought it was. My alternator might have a bad voltage regulator too, cause now it's putting out even less than it was before. But it's a new/upgraded alt so I was hoping that wasn't the case.

Thanks!
