Moisture in Gauges
Moisture in Gauges
Anyone know how to get the moisture out of the gauges? Its starting to bug me. Also what causes it, as one gauge has it and the other doesn't.

Re: Moisture in Gauges
Try removing the light bulb in the back and use a hair dryer and aim it inside the hole. This not uncommon on older gauges that are exposed to the elements.Ajc wrote:Anyone know how to get the moisture out of the gauges? Its starting to bug me.

Re: Moisture in Gauges
My guess for the cause would be...
The heat from the light bulb or engine working its way up to the gauge face, where it meets the cold exterior temps....causing the condensation.
Like Pat said...pretty common. Im not sure how'd you prevent it from happening.
Or if its moisture from sitting outside...silicone!!
