    Gauge lights

    The lights on my gauges don't light up. The gauges do work, but the bulb doesn't light up. I'm only getting 3.01 volts at the bulb contact points. The bulbs are good. I'm at a loss here folks. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    Transducer Cable had an oopsie.

    The transducer cable was accidentally cut. Inside the cable it has two silver wires, one is insulated by a clear tube, and the other wire is insulated by the outside cable. Can it be soldered back to life? Thanks for all info.
