power source for EGT

hey guys,
I need to relocate my EGT power to an ignition power source. This way its not active all the time. Where is a good easy access wire to tap into, so that the guage turns on when the ignition is on?

The amp draw is so low on the pyro I doubt it you'd have a problem leaving it as is. My pyro has been on a constant hot for more than five years without issue.

just remove the panel under your steering, and trace the wire from your ignition, use a test light to find the right one, I dont remember which color wire I used. Should take you 5min to relocate, very easy!!!

Where to connect electrical for EGT

I hooked my EGT to the builder wires under the dash on the right side as you sit in the driver seat. I removed the fuse panel and they were hanging there with a sticker that says builder. Hope this helps. I just turned the key on and probed with a test light then shut the key off to be sure it was switched.
