buy from seng motor and bring to southern motor and ask them fix

 

or

 

buy from souther motor (which apparently should have the auto gauge meter) and ask them install for me at the same time?

pluck it out and try connecting with a dry cell 9 v battery test see. I used my 9v battery to test mine and it works, sometime its the problem with your bikes electricity. Bcos you may have other lights or accessories tapping source voltage from there, so as a result, the power is not enough to share between so many terminal and hence it does light up.

 

I tried 6v battery, it does not light up, try 9v it lights up. Try 12v also light up. Less than 6v i only try 4.5v is not enough to light up the background.

 

Have fun with the swoosh meter, mine so far so good survived abt 4 thunderstorm and more than 20 normal rains without shorting already. Hope it last.

sometime its bcos the voltage supply is not high enough to light up the background light. Dismantle it, and test manually using a 9v battery. It should light up, else its a goner maybe due to short circuit during the rain. Waterproof it man.

 

Mine swoosh 7 colour voltmeter as shown in my avatar is 38 bucks. Up to now still okie, used for 1 and half month plus already.

dudes was wondering if.. cos my lighting on bike the headlight all is by default on all the way.. if i fix the meter then the meter backlight also on all the way? wow i tink it will blow due to heat right? is there a way to off the backlight? is there a switch?

if lights on all the way... hmmm.. either u install a small switch or just leave it lor.... no choice... cos even your meter lights also on all the way right?
