It costs 169 plus shipping for Aeroforce to repair\upgrade any gauge. I've already been through this. I have the emails to prove it if needed. This is why i sold my bad gauge for 20.00 bux to FFDP.

I hooked it up to 12v switched power like it said to but i did not read at the bottom of the instructions where is tells you that you have to unplug the lil red rectangle jumper before you hook it up. So yeah it had a lil puff of some magical smoke.

at least it just puffed a little. the last time i saw magic smoke i also was holding a 4 foot flare of sparks at the same time.

Yeah, I'd be interested too if someone knows how to repair these. My cable got caught in my parking brake and shorted out.

Yeah, that jumper is what tells it to only get power from the OBD2 port and to ignore 12v.I hooked it up to 12v switched power like it said to but i did not read at the bottom of the instructions where is tells you that you have to unplug the lil red rectangle jumper before you hook it up. So yeah it had a lil puff of some magical smoke.

Why don't you take it apart and see where in the circuit board it fried? Maybe you can solder it back together on the board? Who knows, look at what's broken inside ya know

how do you get it apart?

This is strange. I had problems with my aeroforce gauge. You could see aeroforce really dim on the screen and it would make a really high pitched noise. I e-mailed aeroforce and they told me to send it in and they would repair it for free. Little did they know i bought it used off ebay. Anyways its on its way back to me at this moment and I never payed anything except for shipping to them which they said they would refund.

UPDATE: pat from aeroforce has been very helpfull. He said it should only cost like 50 or 60 bucks. So for all of you that have non working aeroforce scan guages let me know i can send you the return paperwork via email. Hope this will help everyone else out that has a bad or broken aeroforce.

PM sent!
Woo Hoo! That's 500!

WOW some asshat there told me $169.00 that's why i sold it. Then he also said i had to upgrade my working gauge to make them both work at the same time. Which would be over 300 bones.
