Electrical wiring for boost gauge - finally completed

[northeast_gti-t]

why don't you ask me nicely and I'll open this package with your loom in and I'll solder on 2 wires for your boost gauge connection before it gets sent to you

there you go tim sounds good that and it will just need you to connect straight up  i'd be the first to tell you that wazzers looms are spot on mate i fitted jonnys bora vent loom and was impressed

That would be kind but the back of the gauge is sealed. I ideally want to get it sorted today as well. Thanks anyway

Riiight guys,



This is the dummer switch and you can see the grey blue cable (although due to the light you can only spot it as it enters the connecter, so I need to cut this cable and attach the boost gauge cable. Does that mean all 3 cables are connected together?! The earth one I can manage but this confuses me!

You're a star I may go and hack that apart now then

Right done it, but the backlight doesn't seem to work. I've tried using the button that changes colours but nothing

strange, is there only a +ve and -ve feed for the gauge? No other wires?

There' an illumination wire and a ground wire. I'll have to check when it's dark tonight.
