Have you elected to not receive PMs? ["user cp" under "EDIT OPTIONS"?]

The ignition can be taken from the back of the CD player (wht/red)

Parking lights can be gotten from the red/black on the 3 wire connector on the back of the dimmer for the dash lights.

The 12 volts could be ran straight to the battery. I imagine you could use the same source as the ignition since you wont be reading the gauge with your keys out. (the wht/yel wire going to the back of the CD player is constant 12V)

Ground...anywhere.

negative polarity for the alarm...got me...have no idea why youd need it. My autometer didnt need such a thing.

BTW thanks for fixing the PMs

it's the greddy peak/hold type. i found out you can kook it up to a warning light or something of that nature.

it's a good gauge because you can recall the last highest temperature.


thanks for the help.


thanks for fixing the PMs
