Well, after doing kouki front end conversion and then having a problem with my battery draining, I finally found out what was draining it. I pulled my whole interior apart including the dash and found that my 52MM Electric Greddy Gauges were pulling a full 12v when the car is off. I found this really weird because they worked fine before I did the front end conversion. They are wired up correctly but I dont see how they can be pulling 12v when the car is off. I called Greddy and they told me to try rewiring the constant 12v to another source, but every 12v source does the same thing. The wiring is a constant 12v, ignition 12v, ground and light. Has anybody experienced anything like this with Greddy gauges or any other type of electric gauges? Also, if the gauge has a constant 12v and an ignition 12v does that mean it has some sort of a relay built in? If so, can I wire up a relay before the gauges?
