![Question](https://www.rx7club.com/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I installed a greddy electronic warning boost gauge a few weeks ago, while my FD is sorta down. Rigging it to the FPR was no problem, running the vacuum hoses and wires was not a problem. I can't figure out where to wire the damn thing into though? There are 5 wires, red 12v constant, orange 12v ignition, white 12v lighting, black chassis ground, and yellow negative ground output. I've heard of wiring these in under the ashtray, and I've also heard of shops putting in a extra fuse or something like that. I don't know much about electronics, any suggestions?

I took the constant, ignition switched 12v and chassis ground from the same source the radio gets it from. The white parking light can be taken off a source which comes from the dashlight dimmer (cigarette lighter illum. is right there) or if you don't care to dim, anything that comes on w/ lights. Yellow is optional meter switched grounding for buzzer or light that can set to go off at desired boost in addition to meter's internal light. I have really enjoyed the quality and usefullness of my Greddy gauges, I hope you have similar experience! If you aren't comfortable doing it I bet the right stereo shop would not charge much to do it.
