Isspro Performax gauges

The last week or so I have been having issues with my gauges. It seems like every other cycle of the key the gauges "stick", they go up to a number (as soon as they get power) and stay there with no response, they next time they are back to normal. Any ideas?

Mine did that once, a few weeks ago. I pulled all the power to the ESP and rebooted it. (Remember, you have an "always hot" connection.) It may just be a coincidence, but I haven't had any trouble since.

I haven't ever had this happen on mine and have been running for over a year now. You may need to send in your ESP to get it reflashed and updated. But I would try unplugging from power and checking your connections for now. Please let me know if I can help.

I haven't heard of this one either. Mine have been in my truck for longer than anyone (first prototype set ever built, but updated with new versions as we go). Do the lights function when in the "frozen" state?

Regards,

I'll try unplugging the power when I get out of work today. The lights still function when the gauges are "frozen"

Could you please try varying the backlight while they are frozen, see if the light still changes with the factory lights? That will tell us if the gauges are still getting messages from the ESP, or if they are just acting on the last message sent.

I verified that the backlighting does still respond while the gauges are frozen.

I don't have the recall function hooked up, and the gauges never freeze on the same value (sometime even 0's)

Thanks for the help guys, hopefully they stay this way
