2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Power for guages

[Justin1889]

Where is everyone getting power for their guages and the lights for them on a 98 12 valve?

Not too sure on the 98, as I have an 01..... but I took my power from the hot wire for the parking/head light switch. It was a cluster in there but with a manual and/or test probe it speeds things up. I have also seen some taking power from the lighter. Hope this helps...

on 98. 5 use fuse 8&5 . go to auto store ask for add a circuit. remove the fuses plug in the add a fuse connect the wire to power the gauges and the other the light the gauges. fuses are marked as to which circuits they control. hope this makes sense.

The Add-a-Circuit works great. I have several on my truck, for that reason. They come as either the mini fuses or the ATO.
