Cool Pyrometer quit working.

I start my truck this morning to go to work and discover that my Isspro pyrometer will only read ambient temperature, nothing more. The needle moves up from zero when I turn on the key so I know the guage is still working.
Anyone dealt with this before?

Maybe The Probe Has Gone Bad.
I Have The Isspro Gauges Also But Have Not Had A Problem With Them.
My Probe Is Post Turbo And My Gauge Is Color Coded For Post Turbo As Well.
I Have Heard Of Probes Melting In The Pre Turbo Position Like Yours Is But I Know You Have'nt Had Yours In Very Long.
Also .... Do You Have Amplifier Boxes For You Gauges That You Mounted Up Under The Dash. I Had Problems With A Tranny Temp Gauge On My Other Truck At One Time But The Gauge Would Not Register Any Thing. Ended Up Being A Wire That Had Pulled Loose From The Terminal On The Amplifier.

I have read of a Isspro probe or 2 going bad, not melting as Refugio stated. Also read Isspro stands behind their stuff and will replace it no charge. I've got the same gauges and hope this isn't a trend. So far no problems.

I didn't even need to go that far! I talked with one of the support tech's there. Tried a few of his suggestions and he decided that they need to send me a whole new kit. They don't even want the old one back.
OUTSTANDING customer support.

That's great to hear since I have the same gauges. I think I've read at least 1 or 2 posts on this or other forums of every gauge manufacturer having a pyro go bad once in a while. It's nice to know Isspro supports their stuff so well.

GLAD TO HEAR THIS .. I HAVE ISSPRO GAUGES... IN CASE I EVER HAVE ANY TROUBLE. I WONDER HOW LONG THEY WILL BACK UP THEIR STUFF ?
90 DAYS? 6 MONTHS ? 1 YEAR ?
