Ok, I need a 12V source that is safe to splice into for my gauges. I have them rigged up to the sensors and ground, just no power!!! Where do you guys suggest?

rico05

No one has gauges?? I really don't want to wire it into the cigarette lighter because I really don't want to screw with pulling the centor console...

Black/yel coming from the fuse box and found at the blower, inst cluster, CPU and a few other spots is from the Meter fuse.

As always, thanks Mark!! I can always cound on you for good info!!

yep Black and yellow is the main one, i think a Black with White stripe is also good, check your Haynes in the back, and follow some wires from the ignition and look at the color codes, that is what i did for my guages.

Well, I do have my feul cut wired into the black and white. I am installing a lighted switch into that today as well, so I might as well see about hooking the gauges into that as well.

IIRC, I'm using Blue/White.. It's one of the switched 12V sources for the radio.

I have no radio, so this is fine for me

The only problem with that is that, that wire drops voltage while cranking, and is on when the key is in the first forward position.

I used one of the wires that is used for the adjustable suspension, under the power mirror controls. I forget what color it was, but you can just use a voltmeter to find it.

I don't have AAS (thank God) but good idea.

well where are the gauges going??..... that would help the question. unless you want to run wires around the whole car

Ahh you got some new toys. What kind of guages did you pick up?

rico05

A-Pillar, sorry. Nordskog digital a/f and water temp. Well, I got the ground wires and signal wires doan, but I was wondering, even though I already have a fuel cut switch wired to the black and white wire can I also use that as a power source? Thanks guys!!

rico05

So, is that ok to do? I SUCK with electrics, so any help would be appreciated!!

I used a piggyback fuse to wire mine up. They plug into your fuse block and give you 2 slots for fuses where there was once one slot. One slot is used for the original function of the fuse, and the other has a wire coming out that you can run to your gauges and put whatever amp fuse in you want. They should be available at most automotive stores.

There are blanks in the fuse box that you can tap into with a male spade connector.

Well, I used the same wire that the fuel cut is with and it worked!! I just need to figure out which wire is 2C on the ECU so I can run the input signal for the A/F gauge. Thanks guys!! Oh, and what temps should I be seeing???
