I have one of the newer greddy boost gauges.. Installed about 3 months ago. Noticed today this just started happening it stays lit when the cars off.. Why is this happening and why all of a sudden??

What do you have the illumination hooked up to?

^^ ditto...make sure there's not a problem with your illumination wire/where it's hooked up. Make sure it's hooked to something like an acc. that comes on with the car...headlights...stereo...

gauge isnt wired correctly...i had the same problem with some BLOX gauges i had (what a waste of money those were)...but check your wiring points...you may have your power source as a direct 12volt...not an ignition made 12volt (basically meaning that electricity only flows when the ignition switch is in the ON position)

wire it into your headlight circuit. It might just be on the main 12v source...
