this has baffled me for a while, but i forgot about it till i came across an old video of a problem with my Autometer nexus fuel pressure gauge (you just have to watch the first 15 seconds):
notice how back when i first installed my gauges, i wired the switched power source somewhere that didn't cycle while the engine is being cranked, which meant the gauges would initialize once and stay on till i turn the car off and take the key out (which is perfect)
however since i've rewired everything a while back, my gauges and all interior accessories (radar detector, etc) turn off while i crank the engine, which is fine for most accessories except the nexus gauges that have to initialize twice everytime i start the car.
i remember looking everywhere for a that elusive point that didn't lose power during the engine start up, but couldn't seem to find it!
can anyone spare me from checking every wire inside the cabin again?
