Autometer Nexus Gauge Problem

Hey guys,
One of my gauges sticks. It stays one color, and displays an inaccurate reading. I can scroll through the colors and sometimes that will reset it but, then it sticks again. It's the coolant temp gauge not that it matters probably.
The oil temp gauge also randomly resets. It sweeps to 0 then back up to ~60 but, that causes no real problems.
Any ideas?

Loose wires? What do you have it hooked up too? All the same source?

nope each gauge linked to a sensor on various parts of the car
may have something to do with the module though

What is powering the gauges? The same 12v source? if so, where is that tapped from?

I believe the module powers the gauges and the battery powers the module
I havent opened up the dash to confirm for sure
Probably should since its likely the source of the problem

I will say is the module
Like you said module power the gauges and if you will have loose conection all of them should shutdown. I have the same problem sometimes they reset by itself and after a while my module stop working and I have to get a new one. Now knock on wood they are working ok.
You can check the remote if its firm lock in the module also.
