2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission help: easiest wire for + ignition on source

[rivercat]

In the middle of my gauge install can't find an easy wire for pyro ignition on feed. The taping was gravy compared to fishing the wires through the firewall...



even went diehard: no boost bolt just tapped the intake!



TIA whoever answers this one>

Add one of these to your fuse panel near your driver's side door:

Add A Circuit



Get your test light and find a fuse that is on only when the ign. is one then take out the fuse and install the Add-a-Circuit. You will need to file the black a bit to get it to sit properly in the fuse location. You will see what I mean if you go this route, just compare it to a fuse to see where to file.



You can pick these up at autozone.

Forgot one thing, you could also find/use a fuse under the hood.

Another place to get an ignition hot only source is the radio. I am not a big fan of those add a fuse things... I can never make then work. Pull the radio unplug the connectors, and find the one that has 12volts + only when the key is on and you are in business.

Fuse access

Use fuse number 8 in the dash fuse panel. Be shure to fuse the pyro

Is it ok to just slip the wire under the fuse for the light to a pressure guage?

These are really handy. I used one for the lights on my gauges. It can get kind of crowded in the fuse panel if you use several of them though. But they made finding the right circuit really easy.
