Gauge help
I am in the middle of installing my pyro, boost, and trans temp gauge, and I am having difficulty.
I ordered the set from Diesel Manor which has some crazy detailed instructions. The problem is the 12+volt ignition wiring. I have the pics, but not the wiring. I am terrifed underneath my dash cause the previous owner had a remote starter alarm system installed and their must be an extra 100 feet of wiring under there.
The Diesel Manor directions say a blue wire with pink trace and show a photo. Yeah, its not in my X. The alternate source is a black plug with yellow wiring, yep you guessed it not there either. The fuse box doesn't have anything open.
Does anyone here have any ideas?
Thanks

In any event, you can always find the type of source you need and just wire the gauges to an 'add a fuse' type product:
You use a test lead to find the type of power you want (key on vs. always on), remove the fuse, put this one in, put the old fuse back into this product (lower port), then put a new fuse on the upper port and tie your gague leads into that lead.
