isspro pyro not working

I installed my isspro guages last night and got finished late so i took it out for a spin this morning and all my guages work except my pyro?

The needle does not move at all. I soldered the power wire for the amplifier box in with the rest of the guage amplifiers and the ground is on the same ground as the lights (and the lights work)

I screwed in the probe attached the lead wire with the bolds and nuts provided and then put scrink wrap on all those connections

ideas???

thanks

Higgins

First check the square plastic connector on the wire. My tranny gauge didn't work and it ended up being that, they seem cheap and came apart with a little force i guess. Also in the install directions(I don't have them with me right now) it tells how to test if it is the guage or the sender by grounding out one of the wires. Goodluck

When I installed my Isspro gauges the pyro worked great for a short while and then quit working. I called the vendor that I bought it from and they gave me a number to call that has a tech on the other phone. He had me try some things and then based on what the result was, they sent me a new unit. It had completely failed.

Well, this may not be a fix, but I don't recommend shrinking the wrap until some good seat time with a working gauge after install in case the problem resides there. I would simply slide the wrap on, and off to the side until I was sure all was working well. This may help someone.

If I could have read your mind I would have. I still haven't shrunk mine. But all is well. Just lazy I suppose. (Bought a boat and have been fooling with it). I know my gauge set did not recommend soldering anything, (splice) but I don't have an amp box either and mine are diprocols. Just a thought.

My ISSPRO vendor told me not to solder the conections. He said to use the crimp connections only. But, I received 1 new gauge, 2 new boxes, and finally a probe that fixed the problem. I think the solder may be the issue. He was repeatedly clear not to use solder.
