Autometer Electric Speedometer
« on: July 04, 2007 - 06:01:30 PM »
I have the 5" electric speedometer that can easily be calibrated...so my question is I have a kill switch on the car and eveytime I turn it off I have to recalibrate :pullinghair:

Can I run the positive wire directly to the battery with no problems??? or any other suggestions???

Wow!  I didn't realize they wouldn't hold the calibration.  Figured they would have at least had some kind internal battery or solid state way of keeping the calibration.  Thanks for bringing up the topic because this is the same situation I am going to face.

hook a wire to the battery past the kill switch & you will be fine
