bolarbag Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Hi all Got all the gauges installed am slightly stuck on the wiring, where do I find the wires for Live,common and the two ignition wires? Its a J-Spec TT, my old imori gauges had the live and common in parallel to the light in the glove compartment, but I need ignition wires for the defi's. I dont want to rip out the rest of the dash to get to the actuall ingnition barrell.. Any suggestions...how about the wires that power the digital clock? Thats been removed now,theres 4...live,common...dont know what the other two are?? p.s anyone know where I can get the T-Piece for the Fuel line for the Fuel Pressure gauge?

Angarak Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 For my Blitz MD gauges I took power from the radio loom, and for my AEM A/F gauge I used the Ignition live from the Odometer plug (since it was on a 10amp fuse as recommended in the AEM instructions) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Yes, make sure you use a decent live for the AFR gauge, remember it needs to heat up the sensor and for that it needs a decent current supply and the radio one is not ideal for that.

bromy Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Cigarette lighter for the AEM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolarbag Posted December 4, 2006 Author Share Posted December 4, 2006 What colour is the odometer live? I'll check it out when I go home, noticed that all the wires are like multicoloured?? Any wiring tables or diagrams on installation, would like to know the wiring colour code for the sup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolarbag Posted December 4, 2006 Author Share Posted December 4, 2006 Oh, where are the fuses for both the cigarette lighter and the dash? Replaced dash fuse before, think its under driver footwell is that right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angarak Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Fuses are in drivers footwell. If you have the fuse cover, there will be a diagram on the inside showing the relevant fuses. I was under the impression that the Cig lighter doesnt run on a 10amp fused circuit - making it not suitable for the AEM which requires a 10amp fused circuit. I have a 95 JDM Supra, not sure if the wiring will be different, but the ignition live on the Odometer plug was top left as you look at the plug (pretty sure its a yellow wire - see pic below). You can test using a multimeter or one of those gadgets that lights a bulb when a circuit has power (can't remember the official name for them lol). If your unsure of doing it yourself, get a qualified automotive electrician to wire it all up for you - save your car going up in flames should you get it wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolarbag Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 Cheers! Get right on it, I'm an electrical engineer(Junior) but didnt have instructions with the AEM and dont understand the Jap colour coding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
