I think the thing to do is copy the pics off your iPhone onto a PC, grab a coffee, and write a slow, careful post sitting at a normal-sized keyboard in front of a monitor.

Nobody's going to be able to make sense of a complicated request if it's done in text-speak at 400kph!

Good luck.

How many wires are there and what colours are they and state what you hooked up each wire to.

Hey mate rido I'll try explain the best i can without pics!! I'll rite what the instructions says and see if use can figure it out. I think i may have I'm gonna try disarve but on the back of the Gauge has 2 spots to connect connections, one connection Is a clip with 4 inserts,the instructions says the four wires are as follows RED:batter(+) BLACK:battery(-) WHITE:Note ORANGE:Note, that Is on one set of wires(the clip with 4 points) I no where these clip I'n to but not how to wire them together!.

Then there is the next clip with 2 points and 2 wires(the instructions says this I's the sensor wire and has a RED & BALCK wire no other instructions on it

Then i have the boost/vacuum sensor it has 3 wires(thought it should only have 2 so i could connect the sensor wires) these 3 wires have instructions as follows BLACK: connect to sensor wire black EIRE

RED: connect to sensor wire RED wire i under stand them to but the next wire i dnt get

WHITE: connect to sensor wire white wire?? The I's no white wire with the sensor wire! Only white wire i can find is the one with 4 wires that chugs the color of the gauge? Dnt no if that helps but yeah I'll try disarve

White is usually ignition power on

orange is usually dimmer switch = lights in gauges

Then there is the next clip with 2 points and 2 wires(the instructions says this I's the sensor wire and has a RED & BALCK wire no other instructions on it

Then i have the boost/vacuum sensor it has 3 wires(thought it should only have 2 so i could connect the sensor wires) these 3 wires have instructions as follows BLACK: connect to sensor wire black EIRE

Guessing here: Red and Black to sensor, white to ignition to power the sensor, but we need pics

RED: connect to sensor wire RED wire i under stand them to but the next wire i dnt get

WHITE: connect to sensor wire white wire?? The I's no white wire with the sensor wire! Only white wire i can find is the one with 4 wires that chugs the color of the gauge? Dnt no if that helps but yeah I'll try disarve

I've got some wiring diagrams at home for gauges and will have a look at them when I get there tonight.

      I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up

      Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
