Digital DC Voltmeter
I installed a digital voltmeter in my truck.
It is not switched and it is hot all of the time.
Should I just switch it, or wire it so it comes on when I start the vehicle?
If I wire it to come on when I start, which wire? 99 F250

Not sure about your 99 but my 06 has a circuit on the fuse box labeled as "Cust ACCESS" it's a 10 amp fuse and it is a capped white wire with a blue or teal stripe towards the middle of the dash just hanging there - kind of behind the ashtray.

Some seek fashion before form, others seek form before fashion, especially when there is an additional price tag involved. No right or wrong, all in the eye of the beholder and the pocket of the owner.
As the saying goes, different strokes for different strokers.

The ScanGauge might be a future option, as a tool with more features.
I installed a switch that will control both the voltmeter and a USB charging port, they both have LED's and I don't want them on 24/7.
