That's easy! Buy/install a new digital. You'll never look back.

Use the handheld meter to test the wires at the back of the SOC meter to see if the problem is in the wires or the meter.

OK seem simple enough....how do you access the meter? Looks like the "dash" needs to come off?

Thanks!

That is a tricky question to answer without seeing the install. Can you post a pic?

Not sure why it is upside down!!
I tried "pulling" on those two lower black retainers...
