hook power and ground up to it, it should have an auto zero feature whenever power is on.

at least my cobalt ones do, dunno bout yours

yea, I forgot to add that part to my post

should read zero with nothing hooked up if its mechanical

either send it back to where you got it and get an electrical one or call autometer.
