Wiring up gauges


Spike3.0

Recommended Posts

I've got a couple of autogauges I want to mount in my car, and I'm wondering what I would need to complete the job.

 

One gauge is for water temp and another for Air/Fuel, does anyone know how I wire these up?

 

I want to connect these to a switch so I can turn them off at night - don't want it to be distracting while driving. What type of cable will I need? I've seen different ampage.

 

I know these might be basic questions but It's a first for me and I want to get it right.

 

Thanks Andy

pritty straight forward,

 

the gauges will requite power & ground,

 

then they have the sensors which go to the radiator etc

 

 

in order to anable them to go on and off you could just put a simple switch in the power to them.

 

mount the switch where you want and connect the wire to the gauge,

 

 

just think back to the basic electronics you learn in school! :)
