Somethings wrong with my Indiglo Gauges...

Ok check it out about 3 weeks ago i installed these gauges there not the AC ones there the ones of of autodynamics there white and they light up blue, green, blue/green. Anyway, I had trouble with them earlier after i installed them they started blinking like strobes later that night, so I took a part the dash again and it was the ground that was mest up. So tonight i was driving and they blinked on and off real quick, then i hit a bump and they changed from the blue/green setting they were on. To that nasty green color it is hella ugly, but now it wont switch back the blue/green, and they still blink when i hit a bump. I wonder if this has happend to anyone else with these gauges or what. Im taking them apart tommorow hopefully its just the ground again, and hopefully the color goes back to the blue/green. By theway the little switch that comes with never woked in the first place so i cant switch threw the 3 colors, it was just on the blue/green one. Sorry this is so long, but if anyone else had this problem that can help please help me, or if anyone knows what the problem could be . Thanks in advance

Sounds like your ground is still screwy. If it is fine then probably running it with the bad ground screwed up the transformer(whatever they call that black box).

I haven't had any problems with mine... i can cycle through all the colors.. and they don't blink or change color when i hit bumps???

Maybe you got a bad inverter????

if youre ground is bad that could ruin the transformer with a reverse signal, kind of like going through a fuse and destroying it
