What Gauges To Get! (done - Autogauge)

[Links]

Can someone decipher this wiring diagram for me.. Was running through it with Abobob, just want to make sure

It's for the Autogauge Temperature Gauges

So from what i can tell.. Red needs a 12V+ constant source..

Orange needs a lighting power source for dimmer function, e.g. cigarette lighter light power?..

C wire, taps into an ignition power source - cigarette power?

A,Black and Black on the sensor are all ground, does this look correct to people, can someone please confirm..

Also - quick update.. I managed to take out the fold down DIN tray last night, i've found the grommet I need to feed everything through, just waiting on a sunny day to do it.. bought some scotchclip things so I don't have to solder the wires. Will post photos as/when i'm done

Cheers

red is always 12v*, so your good there

the orange with a white stripe is your illum wire, makes it light up with your headlights, grab it from your stereo or lighter ifits there

C wire is most likely your accesories wire, grab that from your stereo

and black is most likely ground yes

really the correct thing to do is to run all new lines to the fuse box... but i know you wont do that so steal shit from where your headunit is mounted and what not...

well, borrow is a more correct term...

*Disclaimer: ive seen some f**ked up shit... but most likely its positive

More like splitting the wire as opposed to "Borrow"

Dont forget to use HEAT SHRINK!!! Lovvvve that stuff!

Hahaha, Doodz, your on the money, i'm gonna win the stock with interior bling award ..

Thanks Steven, don't think i'll wire it to the fuse box (no-one else seems to).. Looks like I was on the money, cheers for that, just need a free weekend to do it now..

Ok, so I got around to wiring up the gauges today.. Managed to get the vacuum hose through the firewall via the coat hanger method...

Got a ground up and running, it does appear that my cigarette lighter's 12v wire is not working properly I had power for about 2 secs using my multimeter on it, than it went to 0, is there a fuse for the lighter??

So next I wired it up, but got a constant 12v wire so even when it was off I had power to the gauge oops.. So tomorrow i'll have to hunt for a new wire that I can piggy back or run a new one from the ignition..

Also - did anyone have any issues with the justjap din holder for the gauges?

are you able to set when the warning light comes on?

I just got these gauges, the wiring in my 32 was pretty simple.

Green wire goes to the sender.

If you want the gauges to light up white all the time (with or without the headlights on), wire the red and the white to an ignition wire. Red and orange to ign if you want amber all the time.

If you want it white during the day and amber at night, wire the red and white to ign and the orange to your headlight switch.

Vice versa if you want amber during the day and white at night (swap white and orange around).

just put a test lamp to a wire with ign off, then turn ign on and see if it lights up, then theres your wire.

Theres one that should go to the headunit, usually red as well. If you have a turbo timer, the power wire to that would do nicely. Or if you're really desperate, find the power windows power wire.

I grounded mine to the cigarette lighter

The warnings are preset.

Let me know how you go with your oil pressure one, i seem to be having problems with mine.

When the engine is revving, the gauge seems to work, but once it's idling, it drops to 0.

Ive got another sender to put in but i havent gotten around to that just yet.

I had to cut a few bits of my dash out and move the aircon controls to get the DIN plate to fit.

Edit: Just re-read that you don't have an oil pressure one....
