So, my Accutire gauge, after nine years, displays L. It came with a ten year warranty, including the battery. I e-mailed Accutire about getting the battery replaced but they did not reply.
I took the gauge apart to replace the CR2032 battery. Here are some pictures
I put it all back together but now it will only display 01.0, no matter what the pressure is. It looks like I will be buying another gauge.
They have a weird way of mounting and connecting the LED display. The black strip, just above the display, in the first picture, is the contact strip that connects the display to the circuit board. What is strange is that I see no corresponding contacts on the back of the display. In the third picture, you can see the row of contacts on which this strip sits. Anyone know how this works?
