Kuryakyn gas led help
I just fitted a flush led kuryakyn gas cap and doesn't seem to calibrate/ read properly.
I'm driving an 04 FLSTFI and I put 155 miles up on the trip meter until the gas light came on the oem gauge, I fully charged the battery and then fitted the kuryakyn gauge, all the wires are matching on the amp connector and the grey wire to the yellow on the speedo connector,
When I turn on the ignition the 4th and 5th led light up on the gas gauge, I have tried to cal it a few times with flashlight but all I get is 4th and 5th led on , they seem to flash from brighter every few seconds and then dull and then bright again
The batt has 2 reds and 2 Amber LEDs on indicating 10 volts.
According to the manual the LEDs are supposed to cycle until the far left red LED flashes indicating empty, that hasn't happened.
Any ideas anyone ?( besides putting the oem one back in
)

Ok so i tried to cal it a few more times , and it does cycle to the left and flash red for 1 second and when I switched it off and back on it was at the 4th and 5th green led again, so could it be that it has green led as it is still reading some gas in there ??or should it stay on the red flashing ??

Thanks for the reply Roadkingharry , yes it's # 8375 same as yours . I used a flashlight and a towel to cover the sensor , I'll give it another go tomorrow and experiment with the 3 seconds, I did read on another site where some folks said calibration was a PITA.
