gauge wiring
« on: 19 March 2013, 09:54 »
Need a little help with wiring defo not my strong point! Anyways I'm wiring up the AFR gauge and it says I need to wire to the headlight power wire, not the headlight dimming wire.

So is it the other wire from the dimming switch the one I need? The grey wire not the blue grey?

Well thats what I would have used but in the instructions it says

DO NOT CONNECT WIRE TO THE HEADLIGHTLIGHT DIMMING WIRE. Connection to this rheostat type of with will cause the gauge to malfunction.

So what wire would I used then?

Lol, normally id agree but its the afr gauge, if its not accurate or malfunctions when the engines getting tuned it could result in a engine meltdown.
