Need Help!!! Problem with my face gauges

I've got indiglow face gauges that change to 6 differents colors. I've have them for about 9 months now with no problems. On my way home from my buddies house as I was pulling into my street 20 minutes ago my face gauges went out. The needles still glowed, but the gauges where not. I turned off my parking lights and turned them back on. The gauge came on for about a second then turned off. Whats wrong with them? Is it a fuse or is it a wire? I need to fix it tomorrow before I go to work(I work third shift) or I'll have to take them off. Any ideas?

Silver02EX is an unknown quantity at this point
Mine was having the same problem... the wire that attached to the face was shorting out. and burned part of the wire and part of the face. But I got it replaced under warrenty... could also check the wire that connect the wire for the on/off switch to your headlights...

IDQcivic should not be trusted
its not a fuse, if it was a fuse, it wouldnt come on at all... I used to have AC gauges and they were POS< did the same thing you are talking about... I bought some BOMZ gagues that are far superior to the AC guages, the look better, and also have an actual control dial with switch, rather than that cheesy touch pad. Check ebay, thats where I got mine. Later.

dude, honestly, if you cant get them to work again cut them off. i went thru two sets of the gauges from ac autotechnic and both times the gauges shorted out from the point where the current would come in to the gauge. they look hot but if they keep goin out its not worth the aggrevation
