I had this same problem, took it in, and they fixed it, they said it was a bad inductor. Don't know what that is, but it fixed it.

If everything is normal and the boost gage reads zero, I'm thinking the gage is no longer connected. They knocked a wire losoe or something the last time they had it.

Take it back, make em fix it or they'll never learn.

Does it still light up when your lights are on? I'd say the vacuum line came unplugged.
