yeah it did it for a while before I figured out the relocated battery wire has a few connections that tend to make worse connections over time since they were just crimped, and was apparently draining it so that the first move of the seat or steering wheel would drain whatever little was is left. re-crimped the connections but need to solder them up sometime, but the problem went away. was bothering me for like 1 1/2 years before I figured it out, I dont drive it that much really you can imagine. the issue is the wire is so thick that even if you get a good crimp I think the vibrations loose it up over time, so yeah another thing to learn/look out for.

Alisc3 spot is great as well!
Bumping this up. trying to see where everybody put their gauges. Also how come the 3 pod gauge didnt work on the pillar? also which pod are you using?
