    So the only thing that's not working is the backlighting? As the vacuum should control the needle so no power is needed for that. All I can suggest is checking the earths and permanent live, if there ok then it's gotta be a faulty unit

    So you've got two live wires? One live and one ignition-live?

    If you bought the Maptun guage, the Red one is a switched live, the orange one is for the light dimmer.

    I took mine off the black wire off the back of the dashboard. No, I didn't connect the orange one on mine in the end either. It brings on a blue backlight when you put the lights on, I prefered the white on all the time.
