your guage will have 3 wires. one is negative from batt pack and one is pwr from switch and the other is power from battery pack. See what voltage you have on the 2 wires coming from battery pack. It is very possible you have a bad connection or a bad guage. those gauges are not very accurate. I have replaced several of them.

What you need is a multimeter!

and also the voltage reducer has nothing to do with guage. The reducer is only for lights and accessories.

No offense, but if you suspect there is a bad gauge on that cart, you should take it to your local E-Z-GO dealer. As a 2008, that cart is still fully covered by WARRANTY and you should let them replace a defective part to ensure continued warranty coverage.
