Finally got my Isspro tach, boost, pyro and trans temp gauges. Did a search, and got too many hits to review them all for my specific question, so here goes:



I want to wire the gauges so they can be dimmed at night using the factory headlamp switch (like the factory dash lights). Can't recall where I picked this info up, but can I just splice into the orange wire in the factory tach plug (I think that's the correct one for the lights) and run all 4 gauges off of this single wire, or am I asking for trouble? I know little about wiring, so I don't want to do something dumb and melt something - but then again, it seems these gauges can't draw much either. Any better/safer ideas or is this pretty typical?
 
Hey Clint! That should do it. I didn't have the factory harness for the tach but I spliced into the orange wire elsewhere.

There is a medium-small tan wire coming out of the headlight switch that controls the dimmer, for those of you without the tach hookup. That's where I got my light power from, anyway.

I think I wired my gage lights by using the light in the ashtray... it was dimmer controlled. I just eliminated the ashtray light.

I got mine from the radio, 'course I installed the guages and radio at the same time and the Sony didn't need the dimmer wire. :D

They only put them in the CTD's in the northwest, so we could find the ashtray in the rainy weather. :p :p
